Reviewed 2026-10-22. The current city trail page says all trails are now open; its dated update lists February 9–23, 2026 River Trail repairs. This is an owner notice check, not a same-day field inspection. Older 2023 tornado warnings on another bicycle page are historical and are not treated as proof every paved trail remains closed. Observe any new flood, storm or work barrier. This is a source review, not a same-day inspection. Recheck the linked manager before travel.
Map and Directions
