Our Beginnings

Menard County Trails & Greenways began in 1999 as a Menard County committee, tasked with developing a comprehensive plan for trails and greenways in Menard County. The plan was  administered by the Menard County Trails Committee who prepared the plan for the Menard County Board of Commissioners. The Comprehensive Plan for Trails and Greenways in Menard County was finalized and published in 2001. Upon completion of the Plan, the Trails Committee chose to continue to work together to implement the Plan. Therein, Menard County Trails & Greenways formed.
