Walking Trail | |
The old railroad line on the south side of Laurens has been converted to a walking trail. The trail is open once the snow melts in the Spring and is closed once the first major snowfall happens in the Fall or Winter. Much of the area has been converted over to natural habitat and the trail is approximately 1 mile long. | |
