Thorn Creek Trail now complete

For Diane Banta, the Thorn Creek Trail is an ideal place to walk her dog. She’s very familiar with trails in the region: Banta is an outdoor recreation specialist with the National Park Service, which advocates for many trail development efforts in Millennium Reserve, including this one.
