CANNON BEACH, Ore. (AP) — A Cannon Beach woman has developed a new trail on the Oregon coast — but this one runs through the city.
Barbara Linnett is a board member of the Warrenton Trails Association, and chairwoman of the Friends of the Trail group in Cannon Beach.
The Daily Astorian reports she helped develop a 25-mile loop to connect to Fort Stevens State Park and the Fort Clatsop to Sea trail before getting involved in a half-mile inner-city “lagoon trail” in downtown Cannon Beach.
Linnett had to overcome concerns about safety and parking, gather supporters and attend city meetings before organizing work parties to build the trail.
