Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar announced the designation of 31 trails in 15 states as National Recreation Trails, adding more than 716 miles of trails to the National Trails System. “From coast to coast, the National Trails System helps connect American families with the wonders of the great outdoors,” said Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar. “These new National Recreation Trails, built through partnerships with local communities and stakeholders, will create new opportunities for fitness and stewardship while creating a lasting legacy for our children and grandchildren.” Each year nominations for designation of new National Recreation Trails may be submitted. The NRT Program recognizes trails that provide opportunities for all Americans to enjoy the out-of-doors and improve the quality of life of our communities. The trails which are designated are announced in the first week of June as part of National Trails Day events . With nine trails added to the National Trails System, the state of Alabama scored the highest number of newly designated National Recreation Trails. The Highlands Plateau Greenway was the only trail to be designated in the Great Smoky Mountains region. The Highlands Plateau Greenway is located roughly 35 miles south of Cherokee in Highlands, North Carolina, the highest incorporated town east of the Mississippi. The 5-mile network of continuous walking trails connects natural areas and historic sites for educational and recreational opportunities. Straddling the Eastern Continental Divide in a temperate rainforest, the area boasts the highest floral and faunal diversity in North America. Because of this unique environment, landscaping along the trail with plants native to the southern mountains is a major focus. You can find the complete list of newly designated National Recreation Trails by clicking here .

Friends of J.N. Adam Historic Landmark & Forest is compiling a list of ways to reuse the historic former J.N. Adam Hospital facility in Perrysburg, New York, and handing out prizes for the best ideas! Check out pictures and info at www.jnadam.org and on facebook under J.N Adam Historic Landmark and Forest ~ What would you like to see there? ~ What do you think would work? ~ Do you think the public should be able to access and recreate on the 500+ of acres of open space — forest, meadows, ponds, streams, even the sports fields and picnic area that the state abandoned? We want to hear from you!  Prizes for: (1) Most Creative (2) Most Comprehensive Multi-Reuse (there are 650 acres total and well over 200,000 square feet of historic building space) (3) Best reuse of the spectacular dome room/dining hall rotunda The three prizes you ask?  Your choice – either one copy of ~ Mason Winfield’s book “Haunted Places of Western New York” (because we well know the J.N. Adam hospital is haunted, after all !), ~ or one copy of Margaret Wooster’s book “Living Waters: Reading the Rivers of the Lower Great Lakes” (because the J.N. Adam facility does sit atop Perrysburg’s sole source drinking water aquifer!), ~ or one copy of Peak Experiences: Hiking the Highest Summits in New York, County by County” by Gary Fallesen (because this facility, at 1,322 feet, has one-of-a-kind panoramic views to Lake Erie, Buffalo, Canada, Erie and Cattaraugus Counties, and on a clear day the mists of Niagara Falls!) Let your ideas flow forth (by 6-30-10) and prizes flow back to you!! Submit entries by return email to friendsofjnadam@yahoo.com or on our facebook site under J.N Adam Historic Landmark and Forest.  Winners announced July 1st. Thank you! ~ Friends of J.N. Adam www.jnadam.org On facebook under J.N Adam Historic Landmark and Forest
