27 The Preferred Trail Route

In the Milton Township segment, the shared-use path continues along the west side of US-31, where both panoramic views and farm stands are abundant. The right-of-way is 75’ to 90’ wide from centerline, except for a short section that is 33’ wide along King Orchards and another in front of a cemetery where easement acquisition may be necessary.
