Trail REOPENED after storm cleanup.

On July 3, 2025, our area had intense storms and flooding. This caused extensive damage on the Red Cedar Trail. There were downed trees and washouts along the entire trail.

As of July 9, The DNR cleared the trail of all the downed trees and it’s back open for the most part.

Here’s an excerpt from the DNR report:

There’s still that washout down at the 1.5 mile mark but people can kind of walk around it if they want. We’re working a temporary fix but it’s going to be a while before that gets done. There is still lots of debris and muddy spots along the trail we’ll be working to cleanup over the next couple of weeks. It literally looks a like a tornado hit the entire trail system on top of the 4”+ of rain we had that night. It’s hands down the worst storm damage I’ve seen on our trail system.
