 After many years of work, the Johnson County Trailtown Committee is now beginning the process of bringing back the Edina hiking trail. The Edina was originally designed by a local Boy Scout troop and the committee is hosting a trail blazing day in efforts to restore the trail this Saturday April 20th. Oh it's very exciting to reopen a part of our history. The Edina trail has been here for well over a decade, but like a lot of different things in our community. When it's popular it gets a lot of use and then it kind of fades and it doesn't get maintained as well as we'd hoped and now we need to go back and do some work. We're going to be moving it from the ridge, which is a beautiful place to hike, but it's hard to see the lake down to closer to the lakeshore so that way everybody can enjoy the sights and sounds of our beautiful Paintsville Lake. Outpatient medication assisted treatment for addiction, adult and youth behavioral counseling and now psychiatric services accepting Medicare and all major insurance. Recovery is hard, regret is harder. Appalachian Community Care LLC in Pikeville and Weizberg call 606-432-5660. Find us on Facebook. Those interested in volunteering should arrive at the trailhead at 9 a.m. and wear protective shoes and take repellent. So getting the Edina back up and going again as a publicly available trail is going to involve doing some mapping so that way a map of where the trail is and how to get there is available online for people to utilize as well as blazing the trail, painting on trees and rocks and other things, an emblem so that people know that they're still on the trail and following the right direction. So if you're looking for something to do on Saturday, low cost, low impact, you don't have to drive to Lexington or go anywhere, just show up at Paintsville Lake and we will gladly find a way for you to help us blazing this new trail. We welcome your input and your help. For more information, go to Johnson County Trail Town Committee on Facebook. Reporting for Mountaintop News, I'm Brianna Robinson.
