Description
The Town of Erwin and the Dunn-Erwin Rail Trail Board of Directors will hold a ribbon cutting Tuesday, December 13 at 10 a.m. to mark the completion of a 1.5-mile extension to the Dunn-Erwin Rail Trail, connecting the trail from Downtown Erwin to the Cape Fear River Park. The ribbon cutting will be held at the gazebo in Downtown Erwin at the end of H Street, and will be followed by guided tours of the rail trail extension until 11:30 a.m.
The rail trail extension, along with the existing 1-mile trail at the River Park, brings the total mileage of the Dunn-Erwin Rail Trail, which runs to Downtown Erwin from North Ellis Avenue in Dunn, to 7.8 miles. The extension was completed by Erwin Parks & Recreation through an $84,200 Recreation Trails Program grant.
