Oak Ridge’s greenways network benefits from a small, but incredibly dedicated, group of volunteers. One of these is Tom Dunigan, who has unveiled a spiffy Google Maps-based interactive online guide to the Oak Ridge Greenways trails. (Check out the map!

I’m looking forward to seeing more pins appear on that map when the final phase of the Melton Lake Greenway opens up, linking the Melton Lake Park lakefront with the Haw Ridge Park mountain bike trail system. A few months ago I walked the trail route with city staff and Greenways Oak Ridge volunteers — the walk under the Edgemoor bridge and through the Haw Ridge area probably will become the best part of the Melton Lake greenway.
