Sites & Attractions
You
can experience the enjoyment of the trail that will take you along the
east and north edge of George, to Locker Park and around the pond,
following on along the Rio Grande Creek to the south portion of the city
limits where you will hear the harmony of the wheels meeting the
pavement as you cross under the bridge next to the Little Rock River.
Through the frog ponds you will be serenaded by a choir of frogs.
As you
travel this scenic route, you can rest at any of the 38 benches placed
by families of loved ones. Or you can read over 225 plaques that have
been placed in 8’x8’ concrete sections. These square sections are sold
for $200 each and are reminders of those interested in the project and
the community. If you are interested in purchasing a square or a bench,
you may call the George City Office at 712-475-3612 or e-mailing your
interest to cityofgeorge@mtcnet.net.
