Maricopa County is dedicated to enhancing lifestyles, managing cultural resources, and providing a legacy for future generations. In February 2000, the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors formed the Maricopa County Trail Commission and unveiled their plans to develop a Regional Trail System. The trail system plan was compiled in three stages over a period of nearly five years. It represents a comprehensive system of non-motorized trail corridors that will help guide the planning process as Maricopa County moves through the 21st Century.

This route travels along the main public perimeter/outer-most roads of the Island. It also include the length of Kuebler Trail on the west side of the Island. Since there are several options for roads on the north side of the Island, the main Donegal Bay Road will be used as the "perimeter" for the northern boundary and the route does not go around the harbor in town. This is a fairly obvious loop when you look at a map of the island.
