Local Trail Closings
Woodlawn Loop and Litle Obed River Trail: These trails closed on March 16 and will reopen on July 1st.
Habitat Trail: This trail was closed in September 2025 due to the construction of a new subdivision. The closure should be temporary until the layout of the subdivision is complete and the trail can be rerouted. The trail is expected to reopen by the end of 2026.
TCAT Trail: This trail is temporarily closed due to the presence of a homeless camp and large amounts of trash strewn around the property. It will reopen when the property has been cleaned up.
