So Much to See and Do in Any Season
The Tuna Valley Trail Association (TVTA) is a local grass roots organization dedicated to the preservation, enhancement, and linking of the natural corridors throughout the Tuna Valley.
Objectives are to promote multiple uses of these corridors into an integrated system of pedestrian, hiking, biking and jogging trails – all for the betterment of residents and visitors alike to enjoy the historic, scenic and natural beauty of the area.
Naming opportunities exist for bridges, walkways and trails. Contact us for more information: info@tunavalleytrail.com

Highlights along the trail include historic Crook Farm, water vistas, and wildlife along the Tuna Creek. Trailheads are located at: Crook Farm, Seaward Avenue, Bradford and along Bolivar Drive across from Graham Packaging.
Future plans call for this trail to “loop” back to Bolivar Drive from Tuna Crossroads once the new bridge is constructed for Tuna Creek.
