Asheville Trail Planning

As the Fonta Flora State Trail runs from Morganton to Asheville, so did our strategic planning sessions, with our final meeting being in Asheville. As a bonus, the meeting was held in the River Arts District beside the Wilma Dykeman Greenway - where the FFST will end.The 7.5 mile Swannanoa River Greenway will be a part of the FFST. This is broken into 3 sections for planning - Biltmore to Tunnel Road, Tunnel Road to Azalea Park, Azalea Park to City Line. Completing the trail is now about time and money.A primary goal of Asheville Council is to make sure their greenways and trails benefit the citizens of Asheville - for transportation and recreation.
