? Thanks to Amy Schimetz for the following: [see the Map] “We have multi-use trails (red) that are in most places 12+ feet wide, whereas the Old Oak/Hemerick Trails are much narrower, only a few feet wide, comparable to a glorified game trail. The multi-use trails are grass-covered and can be quite uneven, having dips and low-lying areas which would be hazards. The Old Oak and the Hemerick Trails looks is a dirt path having dips, exposed tree roots in places, areas where trail is close to a cliff/drop-off, etc. All of our trails here at the park have portions that, in our opinion, would be flat and gently sloping but further down the trail is steeper. There is no one trail that we would suggest over the other due to the slopes and uneven ground.”
“We are currently researching what it would take to make the Old Oak Trail, or a portion of it, handicap accessible. “
