I don't know why I've neglected to include the Adahi Trail in Cherokee Village; near our home; where we ride all the time. Especially since it was me who opened it in 1997. Yes, it was Me fighting my way through a jungle of growth; first in the fall of '96 and then again in early '97 to open it on Earth Day.
The trouble is that people have forgotten the legacy; but I have an old newspaper article to prove it. After I opened it others joined in and one man built some bridges for it. After Earth Day the Sportsmen's Club took it over, widened it and did some chain saw sculptures.
It runs 1/2 mile from Village Center Garden to the Thunderbird Center pier.
When we were on it last Saturday 4 groups of people walked by and more people are discovering it all the time.
There has been an Adahi Trail near Barboursville, WV, since, at least the 1960s. This is an approximately 19-mile hiking trail which extends from Camp Arrowhead, near Ona, WV, to the Ohio River (State Route 2). There was a trail medal given to those who finished it. It was administered by a troop in the Tri-State Area Council, Boy Scouts of America. Recent information tells us that the Trail has been broken because of changes in landowners. However, some parts of the Trail may still be hiked.
