An abandoned train track could be transformed into a 307-mile hiking, cycling and horseback pathway through California's remote North Coast, along the Eel River and towns such as Fortuna.
More than a century ago, a railroad was constructed to shuttle passengers and redwood logs between San Francisco and Humboldt Bay. Now the since-abandoned train track could be transformed into a 307-mile pathway through remote, wild country along California's North Coast, a move advocates hope will create a world-class outdoors destination and jump-start the economy.
Sonoma-Marin Area Rail Transit, or SMART, is overseeing the southern portion of the project, where the path will mostly follow a commuter rail line. Generating particular excitement among planners is the prospect of opening up Eel River Canyon, abutting the nearly 200-mile Eel River, which runs along the northwestern coast not far from the Pacific Ocean.
