Enhance Your Outdoor Experience: Join the Development of Woodyard Trail Park

The community near West Point has an opportunity to participate in developing the Woodyard Trail Park. This project aims to expand the existing trail system along the Chattahoochee River. It includes a new half-mile riverwalk that will link a 0.2 mile loop trail with a 0.3 mile concrete trail. The expanded trails will support various outdoor activities such as walking, biking, and boating, and will be accessible to everyone.

A Public Input Session is scheduled for May 9th at the Downtown River Park from 4:00 to 6:00 pm. This drop-in event allows residents to meet with project staff, review design plans, and share their feedback. For those who cannot attend, comments can be submitted online from April 29, 2024, for a period of 14 days.

The new trail aims to improve connections between West Point and the neighboring City of Lanett. It will serve as a shared resource that could enhance local tourism and community well-being. The trail will feature wildlife viewing platforms and signs about local plants and animals, providing educational benefits as well.

The trail is being developed to comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act, ensuring it is accessible to everyone. Viewing platforms and rest areas will be included to enhance visitors' enjoyment and comfort.
