TUESDAY, JUNE 8TH TRAIL CONDITION REPORT:
 
Although we have obviously received a fair amount of rain the past couple of afternoons, aside from the occasional persisten puddle, the trails dry quite quickly this time of year due to our warm temperatures. If you can avoid using them during the storm and for a few hours following, you will not encounter muddy conditions.
 
The bad news is that such intense rainfall has left trail rutting to varying degrees - from minor to somewhat major depending on location, throughout the system. Watch for these especially if you are on a mountain bike, as many are tire catchers that could send you for a spill.
 
Enjoy the trails!

The approximately .4 mile section will turn the trail into a loop creating a longer trail experience for users. Thank you for staying out of closed areas as this new route is finished. We will share opening date details as trail work is completed in the coming weeks.

Red Fox Trail Reroute

The relocation of a portion of Red Fox Trail in Camel’s Back Reserve to mitigate the build-up of deep sand that can inhibit use for those in wheel-chairs or who use other devices to improve mobility. The 100 foot long reroute will also improve safety and connect users with other accessible trails nearby.
