2019 Nov 01 - Kentucky Trail Town Program Bicycle Routes

The Kentucky Trail Town Program is designed to help connect communities to trail systems and develop them as tourist destinations. It will guide travelers to trails, food, lodging, campgrounds, museums, entertainment and other services. ... The community is also working on promoting paddling experiences in local streams.

There are already twenty-two Kentucky Trail Towns, most currently Morgantown.  The Livermore Enhancement Foundation has developed Livermore's own Kentucky Trail Town Task Force to bring Livermore into this program.

A Trail Town is a destination along a long-distance trail or adjacent to an extensive trail system. Whether the trail is a hiking trail, water trail or rail trail, users can venture from the path to explore the unique scenery, commerce and heritage that each trail town has to offer. It is a safe place where both residents of the town and trail users can walk or drive to find the goods and services they need.

A Trail Town is a vibrant hub where people come together. It may have a bike shop, ice cream parlor, casual restaurants, a grocery store and quaint local shops. It should also have wide sidewalks, clean streets, bike racks, hitching posts, watering facilities and restrooms, benches and places to rest for the night. It should generously meet the needs of both trail users and town residents.

A Trail Town is a friendly place that encourages trail users to visit and welcomes them with warm hospitality. Trail Towns are not stand-alone communities. They are linked through the series of trails. Trail users may be passing through a town on a day trip or a long-distance trek or may drive to a community or park to access a river or trail. 

These two bike riders, Marsha Logsdon and Linda Riley, capped off their morning ride with a visit to Livermore's riverfront. Ask them about the nice bike trails in and around Livermore!
