The Lincoln Prairie Trail takes local citizens from Taylorville to the lake, through Owaneco, and ends in Pana, depending on which end you start and has largely been blocked off due to the over 100-year-old bridge that has sat in disrepair for the last seven years. Members of the Lincoln Prairie Trail Conservancy, Steve Dennis and Bill Roseberry, announced that new enhancements for the trail are on the way, and bridge construction looks to begin in September.

Dennis explains the construction of the bridge and how the upgrade will not only excite outdoorist’s but will help the surrounding ecosystem.

Other enhancements soon to come to the Lincoln Prairie Trail are native plant species courtesy of the Christian County Master Gardeners, a bike rack, and a bike repair station.

This weekend the Optimist Club in conjunction with the Lincoln Prairie Trail Conservancy will host a Bike-A-Thon on Saturday, May 11th.
