The Auld-Brokaw Trail System came to existence as a community flood mitigation project in the Marne Creek Greenbelt through funding in 1999 from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).  To view some of the clean-up statistics from the 1999 creek cleanout effort, click here.

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 that the flood mitigation project allowed. The Brokaw's generous contribution of $250,000, along with other contributions from project supporters, allowed for the community to build a first-rate concrete trail with amenities along the banks of the Marne Creek.
