Reviewed 2026-10-22. Fresh city profile confirms the existing trail starts at Beebe Boulevard and runs four miles northwest to Huetter Road; another mile to Meyer Road is planned. The current-linked 2022 foundation map describes its pavement. Its 4.25-mile older version is not silently substituted for the city’s four-mile current extent. City bicycle limit 15 mph, single-file when pedestrians present. This is a source review, not a same-day inspection. Recheck the linked manager before travel.
