 The trail markers are a great way to keep track of how far you've walked. They also serve another important role for emergency workers. The markers are basically an addressing system, just like you would find on any city street. The trail markers you see are placed every tenth of a mile. They are either blue with an "A", or orange with a "B". In an emergency situation, your exact location can be determined by giving the dispatcher the color and number of the nearest trail marker.
A special thanks to Gage County PATCH for donating the signs |

| The trail connects numerous parks with amenities such as ball fields, shelters, playgrounds, tennis courts, and benches. Thanks go out to Beatrice Boys Hoops, Noon Kiwanis, and Gage County Patch for donation of the benches. |

| The City of Beatrice has recently applied for grants that would expand our current trail system. One trail project would extend the Big Blue River Trail from the Water Park (12th and Scott) to the Beatrice High School. The other project is for the construction of the Homestead Trail, that will begin at Trailhead Park (2nd and Court) and extend 6 miles north of Beatrice to Pickrell, NE. The surface of the trail between Beatrice and Pickrell will be crushed limestone rock. |
