The Devou Park Trail Collective (DPTC) has been an integral part of CORA’s journey since the Devou trail system began. Operating informally under CORA, DPTC has played a key role in maintaining and enhancing this beloved trail network.
Recently DPTC made the decision to incorporate as a separate entity and align more closely with the Devou Good Foundation, which generously funded approximately 90% of the original trail construction. While this wasn’t necessarily the direction CORA initially envisioned, it presents new opportunities for growth and collaboration.
This transition allows both organizations to hone in on their unique missions:
• CORA will remain focused on expanding new trails and forging regional trail connections.
• DPTC will dedicate its efforts to the day-to-day operations and stewardship of the Devou trail system.
CORA is proud to support DPTC in this new chapter and will continue partnering wherever possible to enhance the trail experience for everyone. You can still find trail status updates for Devou on coratrails.org, ensuring easy access to the latest information.
We’re excited to see how this collaboration strengthens the regional trail network and look forward to continuing to serve the trail community together. Stay tuned for updates as we forge ahead!
