Elevated fire weather conditions expand statewide today. Warm temperatures in the mid 50s to low 70s and dry conditions paired with winds gusting to 30-40 mph will make it easy for fires to spread. Burning is not advised!

Did you know each of the Trail kiosks have bag holders with grocery bags? These are here for Trail users to help keep the Trail clean. Even though our Trail is pretty clean, sometimes trash finds its way into the Trail. Feel free to grab a bag on your next walk, run, or bike ride and pick up any trash you may find! Together, we can keep our Trail beautiful!
