The Auld-Brokaw Trail System came to existence as a community flood mitigation project in the Marne Creek Greenbelt. Its intended purpose is to be a maintenance trail for City staff to keep the Marne Creek free of obstructions.
Tom and Meredith (Auld) Brokaw were in Yankton on June 28, 2001, for the dedication ceremony and ice cream social held to celebrate the beginning of the recreational improvements to the trail. The Brokaw's generous contribution of $250,000, along with other contributions from project supporters, allowed for the community to transform the trail from packed gravel to concrete, add benches, trash cans, signage, and build a first-rate trail with amenities along the banks of the Marne Creek.
