Plan to motor over to the next Wabash Erie Canal Towpath Trail Group Meeting!


Hosted by Charley Creek Foundation.
Your support and involvement will see us achieve success!

Agenda Items include:

Markers: update on the progress of markers/signs. - Ron James.

Wabash Erie Canal Towpath Trail Workbook. At our last meeting, Rory Robinson of National Parks challenged The Wabash River Heritage Corridor to begin preparing a Workbook as a beginning step for encouraging connecting/marking the route (between already established trails) along the Corridor.

The entire Towpath Trail can be tracked and included in the manual to be used for shaping our idea and marketing it to others. We can be helpful with the historic data and locating the canal and related historic sites. Here are some of the sections headlines found in the sample workbook:

• Topographic Map segments of six miles or less in rural areas; three miles or less in urban spaces.


• Current and proposed access points.


• Ownership.


• Current condition.


• User facilities and status.


• Prospective/current partners.


• Existing Trail.


• Recommended actions by WEC Towpath Trail Chapter.


• Recommended action by partners.


• Interpretive and scenic opportunity site identification standards.


• Design standards (urban vs. rural).


• Development contact information/directory list.


• Data entry and design.


• Printing/support and advertising.


• Ongoing maintenance and ranger volunteer contact lists.

etc. what can we do to assist the WRHC?
