Segment 12 is Hillsborough's River walk <br />greenway, which will connect to Eno River State Park. Orange County is focused on Segment 11, which will start in <br />Hillsborough and will use the Occoneechee Mountain trails, connect to the Seven Mile Creek Preserve, go across <br />rural property to connect to the Cane Creek Reservoir, and exit the county toward Saxapahaw. <br />Kim Livingston reviewed that the planning process for the Orange County trail segments began more than two years <br />ago and included several community meetings. On January 23, 2018, the Orange County Board of Commissioners <br />adopted the proposed route. <br />Kim Livingston reviewed that the connection to Saxapahaw had been anticipated to be Saxapahaw - Bethlehem <br />Church Road but Alamance County is working on bringing the trail through Morrow Mill Road, which is less busy. <br />3 <br />
