• connect trails that will provide as much as four miles round trip from downtown East Jordan;
• include a raised boardwalk along the edge of the Jordan River offering up close views of the river and its wildlife;
• cross several Conservancy nature preserves between the Friends of Jordan Watershed Center and the Rogers Preserve;
• be the launching point for a larger trail
