coming attraction...Coastal Trail!

Coastal Trail

In 2002, the City initiated a community-based planning process that identified the Coastal Trail as a key community goal. Subsequently, the State Coastal Conservancy awarded a $4.165 million grant to the City to purchase 35 acres of parkland on the former Georgia-Pacific (GP) Mill Site. As part of the acquisition, GP will donate a 100' wide Coastal Trail corridor along the entire coastline of the site, which comprises about 30 acres. Through the efforts of Congressman Mike Thompson, the City was awarded an additional $750,000 to help fund initial development of park facilities on the Mill Site parklands.

Otis R. Johnson Wilderness Park

Otis R. Johnson Wilderness Park is located at the east end of Laurel Street, directly southeast of Fort Bragg Middle School. This seven-acre park offers shady walking trails and a close-up experience with nature.

In October 2007 the City applied for funding to enhance the Park's recreational opportunities, restore habitat, and improve public access and park utilization.
