The trail section is used by hikers, bikers and trail runners.
Weather and schedule permitting, Fox Creek Landscaping plans to get the boardwalk installed before the winter season.
The grant is from the Oswego County Community Foundation, which is an affiliate of the Central NY Community Foundation and provided by the Emerick Fund.
