Interactive Map Makes Navigating River's Edge Trail Easy

Having spent most of my adult life in Great Falls, I have seen some amazing changes and improvements come to our city over the years. A quick list of great things include:

several large flags flying proudly across town
updates to our waterparks
updates at city parks
the Veteran's Memorial

That list could go on and on of great things in Great Falls. One of those great things I really need to take advantage of more often is the River's Edge Trail along the Missouri River and smack dab through the city.

From the Smallest of Trails to Miles of Area Covered in Great Falls

I mention the changes above because I remember when the trail first started. Pretty much a dirt path that would get a weed whacker run over it occasionally. But over the years the trail has become a definite diamond in our crown of cool things in Great Falls.
