Youβve probably passed this area dozens of times, but didnβt realize
what is not seen and certainly didnβt realize what was here before.
Letβs stroll the trail to take a closer look at the ponds, their
function, and their artistic embellishments. Weβll also talk about the
history of the Milwaukee Road, one of the largest rail yards of its
time, its thousands of dedicated workers, and the project to honor
them. Weβll view and learn more about the People of the Road
sculptures and the spectacular Tilted Channel art installations. Weβll
end by enjoying the walking paths, riverside trails, and abundance of
native plants on this section of the trail. The walk will be guided by
Michelle Kramer, Board Member of the Friends of Hank Aaron State
Trail.
