  4. For the same reason, it is the perfect trail for children, recreational bicyclists, commuters, seniors, etc.
  5. Due to its southern location, it makes a nice destination trail during the fall, winter & spring.
  6. It has an abundance of southern charm & makes a great southern travel destination.
