Hurricane Hill Trail Project

Hurricane Hill Trail was too narrow for the amount of use it receives and was badly in need of repair.

What does the project involve?

The project will be completed over the course of three summer seasons (2018-2020) and includes the construction of masonry retaining walls, drainage improvements, repaving to 8 foot width, bench installation, revegetation, and improving the first 4/10 of a mile of the trail to federal accessibility standards.

When is the trail going to open?

Update 08/10/20: Hurricane Hill Trail reopened Monday, August 10.
