Lufkin residents craving a little bit of nature can visit the new 3.1-mile trail at Kit McConnico Park.

The Deep East Texas Trail and Route Access Coalition built the new pathway, known as a primitive trail because of its more natural aspect, for anyone interested in hiking or mountain biking.

Rick Ainsworth, who headed up the creation of the bike trail as a member of DETTRAC, compared the path to the type of trail a rider might see in a national forest or in Colorado.
