Honeymoon Island State Park is Paving the Way

Honeymoon Island is adding a safer way to ride the park by bicycle.  As the park is, there are no bike trails or sidewalks designed for bikes in the park.  A paved bike trail through the park is currently in the works.  The trail plans will be going out to bid in the next week or two according to Park Manager Pete Krulder.  The plans include a new, approximately 10 foot wide trail connecting to the trail at the entrance of the park.  The trail will go through the toll booth area, run along the park interior through the parking lot areas, and end in the back of the park near the nature trail.  Paving of the trail is expected to begin by the end of the summer.

It was one of the best days of the winter.
