where is gayles trails
Panama City Beach-Rather than dump the city's waste water into the bay, Panama City Beach officials decided eleven years ago to spread the water over a 3,000 acre conservation park off of Back Beach Road. About two years ago, they voted to build a trail system on the property. The trail system is called Gayle's Trails after Panama City Beach Mayor Gayle Oberst who envisioned it. Wednesday night she gave us a tour of the project which is almost complete. Gayle's Trails are nine miles of paved pathways which run parallel to the north side of Highway 98. Look at the fact that you are walking in the woods vs walking on Back Beach Road or Front Beach Road, said Mayor Oberst.
