CAN A RECLAIMED NATURAL ENVIRONMENT BE A TOURIST ATTRACTION?
Without question, this restored natural environment would have a high potential for attracting tourists. Hiking and bicycling are family activities that the six-mile-long park would encourage. Visitors would extend their time here to experience the whole trail. Other areas of the country have already realized this potential. In Cleveland, for example, the successful development and marketing of hiking trails at The Nature Center, as well as in other outdoor environment locations, is evidence of this.
