The Blanchard River Greenway Trail (BRGT) is characterized by multi-use asphalt trail sections connected by concrete sidewalks and roads. It is predominantly an urban greenway trail that links many community destinations, including parks and downtown Findlay.
The BRGT occupies a section of the Blanchard River Greenway from Bright Road to Fox Street with a trail connection to Broad Avenue and Township Road 89. The BRGT promotes and supports alternative transportation, outdoor recreation, and fitness activities. Certain sections of the BRGT are suitable for walking, jogging, in-line skating, skateboarding, and bicycling. Picnicking, wildlife watching, and river access for fishing and boating are prevalent along the BRGT.
The seven River Parks located along the Blanchard River Greenway that support outdoor recreation and offer the sights and sounds of nature include: Eastpoint Area, Waterfalls Area, Riverside Park Waterfront, Centennial Park, Great Karg Well Historical Site, and River Landings, Hancock Park District Administrative Offices. These accessible park locations also serve as a wayside, thus enticing the motorist or bicyclist to stop for a respite and relax whether it involves reading a book, eating lunch, or napping among nature’s conversation.
