Rails to Trails
After a seven year long process, the City of Eufaula has come to the
final stage of Phase 1 in the Rails to Trails project. One more goal of the
Eufaula 2020 plan comes to fruition with the citizens of Eufaula expressing
the need to help protect the natural environment through the Rails to Trails
project and the creation of pedestrian linkages through Eufaula.
The first phase is a mile-long trek through beautiful scenery that overlooks
one of our most beautiful treasures, Lake Eufaula. This new attraction will
appeal to over 100,000 people from around the country including bird
watchers, rails to trails enthusiasts and nature lovers. The next phase is
