City Link

The new City Link segment will add an additional 3.2 miles of trail to the current Pathway System.  The new total length will be 6.4 miles of trail. 

Runners, walkers, and those biking will have the opportunity to fish at Terry's Lake, bike to work, or visit Scotts Bluff National Monument.  The route will start in Gering at the end of U Street along the east boundary of Scotts Bluff National Monument.  Pathway users will have a scenic backdrop as they head north to Country Club Road.

The all weather trail will be a vast improvement to the puncture vine covered canal road currently used by walkers.

Users of the new system will then be able to turn and head east along Country Club Road.  They will pass Highway 71 and will continue to a turn off to Terry Carpenter Center pathway.  The landscaped area will provide a scenic winding loop to Terry's lake.

From the Terry Carpenter Center, the trail will take a scenic loop around Terry's Lake providing users access to picnic grounds and fishing.

Once the pathway is completed, visitors to the lake will be able to safely bike, walk, run, or fish around the banks of the lake bridging the River.

The journey will end at the local YMCA along the North Platte River.  Walkers, runners, and bikers will be able to safely cross the North Plaatte River on a new pedestrian bridge.  It will cross about 200 feet east of the current trail head at the YMCA parking lot.  Finally, our local communities will be linked together. 

A donation of $20 will build a foot of trail.  Small or large, you donation will help. 

The names of donors who give $200 or more will be engraved in the granite wall at the Donor Plaza, located near the Longs Peak Council Boy Scout Building and the Panhandle Humane Society.  (Limit of 2 lines of 16 characters each)
