RECOMMENDATION 1.5: CEMETERY CONNECTIONS

A short natural surface trail will provide a direct connection from the Peavine Rail Trail to Oak Grove Cemetery on the southwest side of the trail about midway between Georgia Avenue/Morehead Road and Baldwin Avenue. This trail, in combination with a bridge and the sidewalk and driveway connection to Morehead Cemetery at the Georgia Avenue/Morehead Road crossing, will provide a short figure eight loop with the Peavine Rail Trail (See Map 6: Peavine Cemetery Connections, page right). The existing parking area for Morehead Cemetery will also serve as an informal trailhead for the Peavine with this trail connection.

The Morehead and Oak Grove Cemeteries reflect the rich history and cultural diversity of the City of Marion. This area will provide a peaceful spot along the Peavine Rail Trail for users to stop and contemplate the area’s storied past and pay respect to its former inhabitants.
