From time to time, short sections of the trails are temporarily closed due to construction activities or other reasons. Trail closures may be necessary while we rehabilitate deteriorated sections, or when the city or state make repairs to roads, bridges, culverts, or utilities near the trails. 

​Please take a look at the information below for updates on closures and suggested alternate routes.

⚠️TRAIL CLOSURE FROM THE DERRECK TO 1st STREET⚠️

Beginning August 17, 2026, the trail from the Derreck to 1st Street will be closed due to work on the new pedestrian bridge across Poplar Street. The trail will remain closed until approximately Dec. 1st. While we're thrilled to have a safe way to cross such a busy street, we recognize this closure could pose an inconvenience.  We appreciate your patience while this section of trail is closed and invite you to explore other trail routes during the project.​
