Who is Los Caminos and What do we do?
Los Caminos promotes cultural heritage, ecotourism and active outdoor living on both sides of the Lower Rio Grande. All this in the process of getting Congress to designate the Corridor from Laredo to Brownsville as the nation's 41st National Heritage Area.

Lower RGV Trails Network Wins Support...
The National Park Service announced, in December of 2008, that Los Caminos del Rio has been selected to receive technical assistance for one year to help identify water and land trail corridors in existing irrigation and drainage ditches, levees, and connecting spaces. The National Park Service will work with Los Caminos del Rio to develop priorities and standards for an implementation trail plan for the Lower Rio Grande Valley Trails Network.
The trails along the Edinburg Main Canal, on which the McCANALenBurg
Challenge is taking place, are a prime example of what this network of
trails could be.
“The Lower Rio Grande Valley Trails Network is an exciting opportunity
to protect and enhance wildlife habitat and develop regional trails
that link communities to the region’s rich heritage” said Alan Ragins
of the National Park Service Rivers, Trails, and Conservation
Assistance (RTCA) program. “This project knits together important
natural resources and provides close-to-home opportunities for families
in the Lower Rio Grande area to get outdoors for recreation, education,
and fitness.”
