Greenways

Greenways. . , Greenways are corridors of protected open space managed for conservation and recreation. Greenways often follow natural land or water features, linking nature reserves, parks, cultural features and historic sites with each other and with populated areas. Greenways may be publicly or privately owned; some are the result of public/private partnerships. Trails are paths used for walking, bicycling, horseback riding or other forms of recreation or transportation. Some greenways include trails, while others do not. Some appeal to people, while others attract wildlife. From the inland plains and mountains to the beaches and barrier islands to the coast, the greenway network links America's special places., Sometimes the construction of limited access highways unintentionally makes only vehicular travel possible. For example, one can travel north of Fort hunter to the town of Dauphin only in a car. The intention of greenways is to get people out of cars for walking, biking or paddling., Currently, Fort Hunter is on the Susquehanna River Trail, part of the larger Susquehanna Greenway, and Pennsylvania Department of Transportation's Bike Trail Route J. A future greenway has been suggested using the old Pennsylvania Canal, also found in the park., The History of Transportation at Fort Hunter , Because the river and the mountains create a corridor, travelers have always passed through Fort Hunter. Etched on these lands is the history of transportation in the United States.
