New Trail would link Scenic Drive in Moonstone To Clam Beach.

Daniel Mintz writing for this week's McKinleyville Press says a draft report recently released proposes a half mile Scenic Drive-Little River trail connecting Moonstone Beach to Clam Beach.


The trail would include a bridge over Little River and would connect the Hammond Trail in Arcata, to Patrick's Point north of Trinidad.

The report is called the "Humboldt County Coastal Trail Implementation Strategy and was coordinated by the Redwood Community Action Agency (RCAA) and funded by the California Coastal Commission.

The report also calls for a proposed Mad River Parkway Trail that would extend from the Hammond Trail, skirt the Mad River and connect to the Annie and Mary rail-trail to Blue Lake.

Check out more on this in the latest edition of the McKinleyville Press at news stands in McKinleyville, Trinidad and Orick.
