The Southmost Nature Trail, once completed, will be a 7-mile trail connecting the existing Historic Battlefield Trail (near McKintosh Street) to the deep Southmost Area (near Monsees Road). This four phase project is funded by a Community Development Block Grant, Brownsville Metropolitan Planning Organization Category 7 funds, and the City of Brownsville. Phase I, a 1.8-mile section from International Boulevard to Southmost Boulevard, is currently under construction and has an estimated completion date of December 2015. Once all phases are completed, the Southmost Nature Trail will provide a safe route for pedestrians and cyclists to reach destinations such as 9 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, 2 high schools, Morningside Park, and the Southmost Public Library.
