The next step for Jackson’s trails starts with you. Take part in the Museum Trail Public Health Study and help connect more people to safe, active, and healthy spaces.

How has the Museum Trail impacted your lifestyle?

The 2.5-mile section of built trail is already connecting parks, neighborhoods, and museums while giving our city safe space to walk, run, bike, and be active. With the next trail phase coming soon, this study will help us understand the trail’s impact today and the potential of a fully connected trail for a healthier Jackson.

Your story can help build a healthier Jackson.

Join the Museum Trail Public Health Study and help shape the future of Jackson’s trail system.
