The LVRT is mostly complete and now open to the public! The trail has variable conditions due to Spring clean up and a few remaining construction tasks. Keep in mind that these segments may be temporarily closed while necessary adjustments are made. Proceed with caution and follow all posted signs and warnings. We appreciate your patience and cooperation in making the LVRT a safer and more enjoyable trail for everyone to use.
