Reviewed 2026-10-23. Source review, not a field inspection or same-day all-clear. Current city expressly names Chelemes Park trailhead and the paved Golden Spoke network. Larger 100-mile network is not this outing. Stop at street crossings, floodwater and local barriers; no nearby rail or school parking permission. This is a source review, not a same-day inspection. Recheck the linked manager before travel.
Map and Directions
