The town of Lookout Mountain, Ga., has started the process of developing a trail and pathway connectivity plan to link the Mountain Hall to Fairy Trail Garden, Carter Field, Fairyland Elementary School, Covenant College, the Sims Park and other points on the southern end of Lula Lake Road.

The pathway committee, being chaired by Rhett Bentley with input from various groups on the mountain, will be working with Ragan Smith engineering to complete the plan prior to the end of 2025.

The cost to create the plan will be $75,000.

The biggest challenges will be how to get walkers across the major roads. After the plan is completed, sourcing for funding it will follow before implementation. The goal of the trail is for community connectivity.
