The future ESVA Rail Trail will be a 49-mile walking and biking trail along the historic Eastern Shore railroad corridor. The Trail will connect towns, encourage outdoor recreation and tourism, contribute to economic growth and support a healthier and more prosperous community. It will also connect with the already established 5-mile Southern Tip Bike & Hike Trail that begins at the Eastern Shore National Wildlife Refuge. Because CBES has the oldest, most popular Bike Tour in the region [Between the Waters Bike Tour began in 1993] we recognize the benefits to the Shore from this green infrastructure. CBES supports the trail development in any way we can. Stay updated with CBES ShoreLine Newsletter. follow on Facebook (2) Eastern Shore Rail Trail Foundation | Facebook and esrailtrail.org |
