Cacapon State Park Resort
Nature Trails, in partnership with Civil & Environmental Consultants (CEC), was selected by the West Virginia Division of Natural Resources to design and manage construction of a destination-level trail network. Funded by the US Economic Development Administration, the $4.3 million project is set to spur economic growth in the West Virginia panhandle. Nature Trails led boots-on-the-ground planning, GIS analysis and documentation, alignment flagging, and construction plan details for permitting and bid management. Working with West Virginia University and the WV Department of Environmental Protection, the team established cost-effective erosion and sedimentation best practices for natural surface trails, without which 35 miles of new trail would have been burdened by traditional structural controls. Nature Trails also led pre-bid and pre-construction meetings and developed construction inspection protocols through completion.
