The Great Guernsey Trail’s Willard Tipple Memorial Bridge recently underwent a complete renovation. The decking, railing and beams were removed and the entire bridge deck was rebuilt and concrete was poured for the new decking. This will add years of viability to the bridge and ensure we don’t have to replace it for many years to come. Below you will see one before picture and two after pictures.

The CDC continues to install ramps for qualified individuals. This particular ramp was installed yesterday and will have a positive impact on the individual and help him to stay mobile and active in his community.
Our ramp program started in 2023 as a partnership between the CDC and Muskingum Guernsey Mobility Management (which is now operated by the CDC). We will continue to explore multiple avenues to acquire more funding in order to keep this program operating for years to come.

We have officially opened our Boyd’s Bottom Open Space and Trails addition to The Great Guernsey Trail. This trail system traverses over 60 acres of CDC owned land. While walking the trails you will discover diverse wildlife and ecosystem. You will see beavers, deer, foxes, a variety of birds and so much more. Please be advised that the trail system is a rough, unimproved trail system, so please plan accordingly when hiking the trail system.
To access Boyd’s Bottom, head west from the Lore City trail head of the Great Guernsey Trail. You will see the entrance to the system on your left, right before the Lore City Bridge.
This is just another way we continuously improve our community’s quality of life.

The Guernsey County CDC has recently been awarded a $5,000.00 grant from The Columbus Foundation and the John and Edna McManus Shepard fund to support the purchase and installation of interpretative signage along the The Great Guernsey Trail. This grant combined with a generous $4,000.00 donation for the same project means the CDC will have $9,000.00 to put towards the design and purchase of educational signs for our beautiful trail. These signs will touch on a variety of subjects such as wetlands, wildlife, stream ecosystems and more. Interpretive signs play an important role in educating and engaging visitors while enhancing experiences for all users of the trail.

On May 9, 2024 Governor Mike Dewine, through the Appalachian Community Grant Program, announced that The Guernsey County Community Development Corp.’s application to extend The Great Guernsey Trail to downtown Cambridge has been funded for $4.5 million. The funding also includes money to create parking and a trailhead at the Turner Ave. lot owned by the City of Cambridge. The extension will add 3 miles to our current 7 miles for a total round trip of 20 miles and take the trail from the Corduroy Rd. Trailhead, to downtown Cambridge via Ohio Avenue and Byesville Rd.
This is a HUGE win for the CDC, the City and all of Guernsey County. But it couldn’t have been done without the help of the Community Improvement Corporation (CIC) and its executive director, William Arnett, OMEGA, funding from the State of Ohio, and the support of local leaders.
Stay tuned for updates!
