Mary Ingles Memorial Trail (MIMT)

  • The Mary Ingles Memorial Trail will be a 1-mile loop trail designed as a healthy outdoor corridor in a pleasant, restored natural setting that is currently a favorite spot for birders, anglers, and other nature enthusiasts.

  • The Mary Ingles Trail Blazers Chapter has been awarded a grant from the Recreational Trails Program (RTP) of the West Virginia Department of Transportation. The project award was $212,432. However, the full cost of the project was estimated in FY2023 at $363,040, leaving the MITB with the daunting task of raising $150,608.  We are now in FY2025, and materials and labor costs have gone up.  Now we need to raise $175,000 to complete the project.  Please contribute to this much-needed community project.

  • The upper Kanawha Valley is one of the least-served areas in Kanawha County. Currently, visitors are restricted to walking on the roadway that leads from the parking area to the fishing area. The loop trail will provide a mile of walking in a more natural environment free from potential road hazards. The trail will also provide cultural history and natural history education through signage describing the important east-west trail corridor provided by the river and its valley.
