Possible Study on New Trail System
The McKean County Planning Commission is planning a feasibility study on the possible conversion of the Knox and Kane Railroad right-of-way to a trail system.
McKean County is working with Elk, Forest and Clarion counties on the proposal to create a 69.9-mile trail from Kinzua Bridge State Park to Knox in Clarion County.
A state grant would pay half the cost of the study, which has an estimated price tag of about $69,000. If the grant application is approved, the study would start early next year and be finished by spring of 2011.
County planning director Debbie Lunden would also like the study to address a proposal for retaining the railroad tracks for a possible new tourist train operation from Kane to Kinzua Bridge State Park.
