for an enjoyable and easy 0.3 mile. Officials in Marion County and
the City of Marion began collaborating on a Rails-to-Trails project in
1986. The county acquired the Marion-to-Mullins segment of an
abandoned railroad line, then deeded the portion within city limits to
the city. In 1987, the city turned their segment into a greenway. The
City has since acquired two additional miles of the line as a fitness
trail. In 1992, it opened the first quarter-mile section, calling it
the Marion Hike and Bike Trail.
