The extension of the Etowah River Trail network continues along the river. Two projects that link the area below I-575 are on schedule to be completed later in 2020 through funding from Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax and Impact Fee revenues.

As work continues in these areas, the Georgia Department of Transportation is working to stabilize stream bank areas.

The City is also reviewing proposals for re-decking the Etowah River Trail bridge, which connects Etowah River Park (ERP) to Heritage Park, as well as working on the launch site at ERP. When the trail is complete, it will include an additional 1.5 miles of hard surface trail length and additional natural surface wooded trail areas.
