SW KyMBA forged a partnership with Kentucky State Parks and the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE NRL) to design and construct the Brier Creek Trail System. The synergy between the concept that &#8220;riders need trails and trails need riders&#8221; became a reality and is ongoing today. Presently the partnership&#8217;s continue to snowball with support coming from The Friends of Nolin Lake (FONL), The Point at Nolin, Barren River Health Department, KSPF, USACE, KSP &amp; WKU ORAC. May the snowball continue to roll.
