HOPKINSVILLE, KY (CHRISTIAN COUNTY NOW) – The Hopkinsville Greenway is a paved walking and biking trail system that began in 2001 when the Pennyrile Rail Trail Foundation was formed.
The belief of the foundation was, “The abandoned Fort Campbell rail spur will make a wonderful linear park that will provide cost effective and safe recreation. These facilities are popular with all age groups and require very little maintenance.”
