Project Description:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The addition of an equestrian gate in the southeastern corner of the J.W. Corbett Wildlife area and the development of an equestrian loop connecting to the Dupuis area. This equestrian trail will provide the last link in a multi-county equestrian trail system

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Services Provided/Benefit to State:

 

 

 

 

 

Adding the J.W. Corbett link to the equestrian trail network would greatly enhance the recreational and economic benefits to Palm Beach County and several surrounding counties.  The Corbett area trail will link to the adjoining Dupuis Reserve and provide a means to access the Lake Okeechobee Dike trail via horseback.  Finally, the equestrain trail will provide economic development opportunities for the Glades and other communities.
