Granite Benches Along The Trail
Beginning with 2007 opening of the trail, the granite bench program was created as an enhancement effort to the trail.
To date, there are a total of 30 memorial benches generously donated by private citizens, businesses and organizations that provide visitors with a place to rest, chat with friends or enjoy the views.
 
Currently, there is a moratorium for the memorial bench program along the existing trail sections, the intent of which is to ensure the preservation of the trail's natural beauty.
 
A bench waiting list has been created for anyone interested in a memorial bench, however, it is not known at this time, whether there will be additional bench locations available after the phase 3 completion. If you are interested or just curious, please visit our Bench Locations page to see more details.
 
Thank you for your interest and support of our trail! Please email any questions to the Friends at: trail@milfordtrail.org.
