The Mountain Goat Trail Alliance and the town of Monteagle are hosting the formal grand opening of the Mountain Goat Trail Phase III segment, between Monteagle and Sewanee, at 11 a.m., today (Friday), May 15, at Tom’s Place, 335 W. Main St., (across from CVS and Papa Ron’s in Monteagle).
Monteagle Mayor Marilyn Campbell Rodman will lead the ceremony recognizing the completion of the trail and of the Pedestrian Enhancement Project in Monteagle. Elected officials and representatives from the Tennessee Departments of Transportation and of Environment and Conservation will be on hand to help celebrate.
The Mountain Goat Trail is a rail-to-trail community outdoor recreation project to convert the abandoned Mountain Goat railroad right-of-way into a multiuse recreational corridor connecting Grundy, Marion and Franklin counties. The completed Mountain Goat Trail could bring more than $1.2 million in annual economic benefits to the area, according to a report by the Babson Center for Global Commerce at Sewanee. When completed, the trail will connect Cowan to Palmer.
