Details:  The Mid-Levee Corridor is part of the city’s non-motorized transportation network designed to enhance recreation opportunities and make Evansville more walkable and bicycle-friendly.  The corridor is approximately .4 miles in length, stretching from the Heidelbach Canoe Launch to Stringtown Road.  It features a 10-foot wide asphalt trail, bike racks, and new tree plantings, and landscaping. 

The Mid Levee Corridor Greenway is a $1.1 million dollar federally funded matching grant project with the federal government paying for 80 percent of the cost.  The local share of the project’s costs was paid for with grants obtained by the city specifically for the Mid Levee Corridor.
