Park and Trail Closure Information:
Wet weather conditions have delayed completion of the Great Western Trail. Pending dry weather, construction should wrap up during the week of November 17, 2008.
A trail ride was scheduled on the Great Western Trail for Saturday, November 15th. Polk County Conservation staff will open the trail gates for this ride. However, we do caution riders/users of slick spots and uneven surfaces. Certain construction areas may require riders to dismount their bicycles.
We continue to thank you for your patience as trail construction comes to a close. An update will be posted early next week when construction is officially complete.
Park shower houses and water will be turned off the week of 10/20!
