River Corridor Recreational Trails
The paved recreation trails along our waterways are not snow-plowed in winter months, with the exception of a few locations in the area. These trails may be snow and ice-covered in spots throughout the season. Take particular caution on bridges and overpasses, as they tend to freeze first. When snow-covered, residents are welcome to use these rec trails for cross-country skiing. See closure information below.

Unpaved Hiking & Horse Trails
Exploring the wilderness in winter is a wonderful experience. Whether gliding through the trees on cross-country skis, or hiking up a ridge to a beautiful view, the silence and beauty of winter is truly something special. At the same time, the snowy, cold, winter environment can be dangerous. Plan your trips accordingly with the weather, and bring the right equipment to travel safely in this type of environment.
