Nature Loop Restoration Project
WHAT IS THE PROJECT?
Restoration work along the Nature Loop Trail will enhance the user experience, while protecting sensitive meadow and wetland habitat.
WHY THIS PROJECT?
- In 2021, significant improvements were made along the Nature Loop, including new bridges and boardwalks. In 2022, the northern terminus of the Nature Loop from the Trout Creek Bridge to the Driving Range was used as an access route to remove over 300 drought-killed Lodgepole Pine trees. To accomplish this forest health project, the northern section of the trail was hardened with large cobble rock to support the heavy equipment required for tree removal.
-
The current walking surface consists of these large, angular cobble rock, creating an uneven and difficult surface to walk on.
-
Approximately 800 feet of this trail will be capped with small drain rock and decomposed granite to create a smooth, accessible walking surface.
WHAT ARE THE IMPACTS?
- Trail users should anticipate daily closures of the Northern section of the Nature Loop from Sept. 7 through Sept. 18, 2026.
WHAT IS THE STATUS?
- Work is currently underway.
