Atwood Park Silent Sports Trails, Phase 1, for Terra Firma Trails, LLC

Rockford, Illinois

Joined long-time mentor and friend Terra Firma Trails of Colorado to construct the first 4.5 miles of a planned 20-mile “silent sports” trail system. This singletrack network was designed by Bentonville’s Progressive Trail Design to support running, walking, cross country skiing, and snowshoeing while being optimized for mountain bike use. The first phase included a 1-mile beginner loop and 3.5 miles of intermediate trail through mature hardwood forest. It was completed on time and within budget with a two-man crew despite record rainfall.
