Alder Creek Adventure Center Trailhead Boardwalk + Trail Restoration
WHAT IS THE PROJECT?
- The Alder Creek Adventure Center Trailhead Boardwalk and Trail Restoration Project provides for trail restoration and the safety of trail users around the Adventure Center.
WHY THIS PROJECT?
- The wetland area around the Adventure Center has deteriorated; the existing trail will be abandoned and restored to its natural state, benefiting the environment around it.
- This project will also realign the trailhead to head out of the Alder Creek Adventure Center parking lot instead of out of the driveway, creating a safer user experience.
- Trail-user traffic will be diverted around the Equestrian Center.
WHAT ARE THE IMPACTS?
- The former Alder Creek Trail will be abandoned and restored in spring 2023.
- Parking lot impacts in the summer of 2022; those impacts are complete.
WHAT IS THE TIMELINE?
- This boardwalk and new trail were completed in the fall of 2022.
- The existing Alder Creek Trail will be abandoned and restored in spring 2023.
WHAT IS THE TOTAL COST?
- The total cost is anticipated to be $350,000.
