News from Homeplace on Green River

Portions of a new and exceptional four-mile long walking trail at Taylor County's Tebbs Bend/Green River Nature area will be open for the Homeplace on Green River Fall Heritage Festival, Saturday, September 7, 2013.



The trail has been funded by a generous state grant to the Taylor County Fiscal Court and when completed will be a premier recreational trail.

One of the two trailheads is located at Homeplace.

The second is on Tebbs Bend Road at the historic toll house between Homeplace and the Tebbs Bend Green River Bridge.

Three stretches of the trail, all loops beginning and ending at Homeplace, will be open for Saturday's Festival.

The shortest, the 0.3 mile Cave/Spring trek, is a self-guided walk.

The Cave Spring Loop is 0.7 mile stretch and the Beaver Pond Loop is 1.2 miles.

Guided tours will be offered for the latter two, but they are well marked and can be self-guided. All are woods trails and all include some short stretches of moderate uphill. Several viewing platforms, bridges, shorter connecting trails and permanent signage are scheduled for completion late this year or early next. The trail will be a landmark recreational activity and bring increased traffic to Homeplace and the Tebbs Bend Nature Area.

The Homeplace Fall Heritage Festival is an annual family event that includes a large arts and crafts sale and demonstrations, a farmer's market, all sorts of animals, hay and mule wagon rides, a barrel train for small children, food vendors and a variety of exhibits and demonstrations including a cider mill and blacksmith. There will be country/western, gospel and bluegrass music from 10am-3pmCT/11am-4pmET.

There is no charge for admission to the festival and for most of the activities. There will be a $1 or $2 charge for several of the rides, face painting and the guided trial walks and food will be available from several vendors at a nominal cost.
