Trails and grants reshape Henderson County parks plan
Henderson County maintains Bell Trail with existing Parks and Recreation crews while coordinating with CMLC for minor maintenance and volunteer projects. Laurel Park earns an $80,000 PARTF grant for Lake Rhododendron trails, parking, a bridge and picnic area, with towns matching funds and donations. Since 1997 nine PARTF grants totaling 2.6 million have benefited the county, matched by 5.5 million local spending.
