Belle river museum trail

The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) awarded $434,105 to the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development on July 21, 2025, under the Recreational Trails Program (CFDA 20.219) to construct approximately 1,080 feet of limestone and boardwalk trail at the Pierre Part Belle River Museum in Louisiana. The project scope involves the development of recreational trail infrastructure designed to serve both motorized and non-motorized users, with trail construction constituting an eligible use under the program's formula grant mechanism.

As a formula grant recipient, the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development executed this trail development project as part of the state's apportioned funding under the Recreational Trails Program. The Belle River Museum Trail project represents a direct application of program funds toward trail construction, which is among the primary permissible uses of Recreational Trails Program funding and aligns with the program's objective to develop recreational infrastructure and enhance recreational access for public users across Louisiana.
