The Woolly Bear Trail
The Woolly Bear Trail (WBT) will be a multi-use trail and generally lie along an abandoned railroad corridor between New Castle and Shirley passing through Westwood and Kennard. The WBT will travel across relatively flat farmland. Potential equestrian opportunities are west of Westwood to Shirley. Indiana Heritage Trust funds have been obtained to purchase railroad corridor land.
Current status: Land Acquisition is moving forward. Currently we are waiting on the reconstruction of Judge Drain just west of Kennard. Once this is completed we can begin clearing brush and removing trash, opening the first section of "primitive" (meaning no paved surface) trail near Kennard.
