These are the questions I think the public needs to answer pertaining to how the trail will be built and where it will be located.
(1) If a trail existed for biking and hiking use between Six Mile and Clemson, would your likelihood of using it be affected by how long it was? How so?
(2) Would your likelihood of using this trail be affected by whether the trail was paved or not? How so?
(3) Assuming you would use this trail regularly, would it be for pure recreation or do you think it would become a necessary commuting path you would rely on?
(4) How many times per week do you think you would use a trail like this?
(5) Would having this trail pass nearby to commercial or industrial locations affect your likelihood of using it? How close to these locations would you be comfortable with?
(6) Would you be opposed to this trail passing nearby to your house or the house of a loved one? How close are you comfortable with it being to these locations?
(7) Would your likelihood of using this trail be affected by how closely it approached to Lake Hartwell? How so?
(8) Would you be comfortable using this trail if parts of it ran directly alongside a major highway or other road? Would the proximity to high-traffic roads affect your likelihood of using the trail?
Some of these questions may end up being redundant with other areas of research, but these are the ones that will help me guide my research into the materials needed to build the trail and the location of it.

I like question. They obtain a basis for what trails the people would want. The only thing I would change though would to try and have the questions end with numerical type answers, if possible. That way there is a set list to choose and it would be easier for us to compare their chooses.

Cailen: Be careful of your grammar when posting. For example: Would having this trail pass nearby to commercial or industrial locations affect your likelihood of using it? should be rewritten so that it says, "Would you be less likely to use this trail if close to industrial sites?" Note that I left out commercial, too, because what if if were a snack shop or bike repair shop? You'd want to create a question that's very specific to the kinds of businesses would be acceptable or unacceptable (I certainly wouldn't want a trail near a car repair shop, necessarily. Stinky fumes.
