    • The Trail will follow designated sidewalks and bikeways from Green Bridge to 10th Street west, travel west along the existing and planned sidewalk sections of 10th Street West to Snead Island, travel North to 17th Street West and continue west to connect with Emerson Point Conservation Park. The City of Palmetto is working with Manatee County to build this trail. Entrance to Emerson Point and one of many boardwalks in the Park

Master Trail Plans: There are 14 trails in the Master Trails Plan and we (Friends of the Trails) feel the Willow-Ellenton Greensway (rail to trail) and the regional Trail plans that connects us to Hillsbourgh and Sarasota County should be high on the implementation list. However, Rye wilderness trail involves replacement of the Rye Bridge which is a large expense item.
