Celebrating 20 Years of the MGTA
In 2006, when the MGTA was created, there were two miles of paved trail. Thanks to your support, when we open the Cowan section we’ll have almost 20 miles of ADA-accessible, multimodal MGT. Just as importantly, together we can be proud of the connections we’ve created across the South Cumberland Plateau, and the public-private partnerships that have been crucial to the trail’s success.
