The Clyde F. Boyles Greenway Trail currently has two completed sections with two more phases planned. The trail is open to non-motorized traffic from dawn to dusk. Once completed, the Greenway Trail will stretch 5.3 miles linking residential neighborhoods with the Perkins Creek Nature Preserve, three city parks, and the riverfront.
The Clyde F. Boyles Greenway Trail is funded in part thanks to income from an endowment from the Boyles estate. Lanelle Boyles, who died December 31, 2005, bequeathed a portion of the estate to the City of Paducah to be used for walking and biking trails in memory of her husband, Clyde F. Boyles. The endowment is managed by the Community Foundation of West Kentucky, Inc.
This segment of trail, completed in 2013, added approximately 8800 linear feet (1.67 miles) of concrete trail to the already existing 1.75 miles from County Park Road to Noble Park. The trail starts on the east side of North 8th Street (U.S. 45X) behind the Smoke Shop near the Brookport Bridge and winds along the top of the floodwall earthen levee toward downtown ending at Campbell Street next to the Paducah Expo Center.
