CITY OF HOBBS S. R. 18 BEAUTIFICATION AND
TRAIL PROJECT

The S.R. 18 Trail will ultimately serve as a link from a residential/commercial area of Hobbs to the following places: Lea County Events Center, New Mexico Junior College, Zia Park & Black Gold Casino, Lea Regional Hospital, and a path to connect to the University of the Southwest and the Ocotillo Golf Course. Located adjacent to the Lovington/Hobbs Highway, the trail welcomes travelers from surrounding areas with its beauty and will provide a pleasant walking/biking environment for the locals.  The complete project will provide a 6-mile trail for walking, biking, or jogging.
