Euclid Avenue Trail
This recently completed nature trail measures approximately 1900 feet, starting at the end of Euclid Avenue’s paved portion located near the Skyview properties and terminating at the intersection of Euclid Avenue and E Street. Right of way from E Street to the end of Euclid Avenue is already graveled and can be navigated.
Signage and safety bollards at the entrances will be installed by Town crews. The trail construction cost was $25,000.00. Additional site work including storm-water drainage pipes, bollards and signage was installed by Town staff. The Town requested and has been granted $25,000.00 from the Healthy Wilkes Action Team to fund the construction costs.
Mission of the trail: The Town of North Wilkesboro and the Health Foundation have identified this proposed trail as one of the many needed greenway connections from our residential areas to our parks and downtown. Although the Town has a robust park system and approximately 4.4 miles of greenway, many residents must drive or traverse busy roads in order to access these community green spaces. Health vulnerable groups (such as the elderly, low-income individuals, and those without vehicles) are especially disadvantaged by lack of access/walkability and face greater challenge utilizing the trail system to live an active lifestyle.
