Friends of Recreational Trails (FORT) in partnership with Park Partners of Fort Smith announced a $250,000 commitment to the Maybranch Trail at the Fort Smith Parks and Recreation Commission meeting Wednesday (June 14).

“We think that the Maybranch trail is a big deal and needs to get done. It is the one possible trail that can go through the center of the city and connect parks, schools, and more. It will be a very vital transportation part in this section of town that it goes through,” said Drew Linder with FORT.

The Maybranch Trail will eventually connect the Greg Smith River Trail, an extra-wide, lighted multi-use trail along the Arkansas Riverfront in downtown Fort Smith, to Kelley Park Ballfields at 1821 Old Greenwood Road.
