Looking forward to this awesome discussion about efforts already underway -- and envisioned in the future -- to expand the trail system in Douglas County!
Join community leaders from @lawrenceks and @baldwincityks to discuss area efforts to expand our local trail system. We'll meet at 6:30pm on June 22 at the @lawrencelibrary in beautiful @downtwnlawrence. Come join us! fb.me/e/3wF1hrtlL
Good evening trail users, a quick reminder this time of year (and with rain in the forecast): paved trails can have slick spots caused by moisture or wet leaves on trails. Be careful out there friends!

The trails at the Wetlands are some of our area's most scenic and peaceful natural trails. Definitely worth a visit!
Pro tip: visit the Wetlands in the early morning to see hundreds of dewy spider webs!

We are very excited to see actual, physical progress being made on the Lawrence Loop! Construction underway will complete two segments: (1) through Hobbs Park (pictured) and (2) 29th Street connecting Haskell Rail Trail to shared use path on Haskell Ave.
Dozens (probably hundreds) of people -- and other species too -- were out enjoying themselves out along the #lawrenceloop over the holiday weekend. @lprdks @lawrenceks #OptOutside #Trails

Our friends at Lawrence Unchained are having a family-friendly bike ride next Saturday! Meet at their shop (721 East 9th Street) at 3:30pm for a ride to Mary's Lake via the Burroughs Creek Trail, one of our favorite sections of the Loop!

Please alter your route in coming weeks to allow for needed repair work on the Burcham Park Trail along the Kansas River. Be safe out there!
Be alert to the closure of a portion of Burcham Trail along the river. Traffic will be rerouted around the area of repair. Closure is expected to continue for approximately two weeks.
We hope everyone was able to get outside this weekend and enjoy the great outdoors. Beautiful holiday weekend. ☀️

Happy Independence Day!
A fun opportunity to play on one of our local water trails!
Be aware you may need to alter your route if planning to use the Naismith Valley Park trail this afternoon!
The Naismith Valley Park bridge will be inaccessible the afternoon of Thursday, June 3 due to the uprooting of a tree obstructing the area. Park staff will be present and working to fix the problem.

We wholeheartedly agree with our outgoing visitor/convention bureau leader that trails are one of our most important amenities! Thanks for your leadership Michael!

Our waterways are important recreational trails! It's important to protect these vital and fragile resources.
