The Georgia Department of Natural Resources says it has awarded $2.5 million in grants to 27 trails across the state.
The grants are meant to fund hiking, biking and horseback trails, as well as canoe and kayak launches. Local, state and federal government agencies and authorized commissions are eligible to participate in the competitive grant program.
