In efforts to build a healthier and cleaner environment, the Park and Recreation department is building greenways all over the county.  The following are maps that detail existing and future Greenways.  The links will open a new window.

The Red lines represent proposed primary trails and the yellow lines represent proposed pilot projects.
>>> Water Quality Map (36 kb)  Green lines represent reccommended water quality corridors and the red lines represent watershed boundaries.
