Plans for extending the Kewash Trail and paving a portion of it are underway. Conservation Director Steve Anderson explains that it is in the preliminary planning stages and it will be a joint effort between the City of Washington, the Conservation Department, the Sheriff’s Office, the county and the Veterans’ Office because of the location of the trail.

The proposed trail would be partially paved and will go around Willow Pond, then north to the the Veterans Memorial and to the new Kirkwood Education Center. Grants will be sought to pay for the project.
