This $800,000 summer project in the Lakes Basin was funded by Federal Transit Authority Paul S. Sarbanes grants and was performed by Herback General Engineering.

The 1,765 feet multi-use path originates at the corner of Lake Mary Road and Pokonobe Lodge and ends at Lake George Road after users cross the 50 foot pedestrian bridge with spectacular views of Lake Mary.
