Residents to have say in naming lake walking trail

Body

El Reno residents will get to weigh in on choosing a name for the walking trail at Lake El Reno.

The city council agreed to submit three names for locals to choose from. A social media poll will offer residents these choices: Lakeview Trail, Bison Trail and Sunset Trail.

The names were submitted by residents during an online contest put on by the city. Residents submitted possible names for the trail being developed around the lake. City Manager Matt Sandidge said more than 100 names were submitted. “Some of them were really good, some of them were not,” he said.
