You’ve probably passed this area dozens of times, but didn’t realize what is not seen and certainly didn’t realize what was here before. Let’s use the trail to take a closer look at the ponds, their function, and their artistic embellishments. We’ll also talk about the history of the Milwaukee Road, one of the largest rail yards of its time, its thousands of dedicated workers, and the project to honor them. We’ll view and learn more about the completed People of the Road sculptures and the spectacular Tilted Channel art installations. We’ll end by enjoying the walking paths, riverside trails, and abundance of native plants on this section of the trail. The walk will be guided by Michelle Kramer of the Friends of Hank Aaron State Trail.
