East Fork Trailhead in Wylie will be closed

June 28, 2025 – Road construction on the Park Blvd extension has begun and it no longer safe to ride on the trail where it runs along Skyview Dr. The entrance gate to the trailhead will be closed until the road project is complete and conditions are safe once again.

Caution at White Rock Creek crossing

Sept 1, 2024 – You may use the crossing at White Rock Creek. We have inspected it to the best of our abilities and the 15ft trailbed across the creek is safe. However, there are still soft spots, upstream and downstream from the crossing trailbed. DO NOT leave the trailbed (15ft wide) when crossing the creek. DO NOT go near the pools of water up or downstream. DO NOT leave the trailbed crossing to get on the gravel bar up or downstream. DO GO STRAIGHT across. There is silt at the base of the cut on the picnic table side of the creek that will get muddy and soft with rain.

Aug 9, 2024 – NTMWD has cleared a 40ft wide swath on the west side of the Sycamore loop to extend the pipeline corridor another 1/4 mile south. Our trail skirts the cleared swath, keep an eye out for our direction stakes.

Trailhead and trail status

Do Not Park on Rolling Meadows or side roads in St Paul

Parking horse trailers on Rolling Meadows Rd (which leads to the Collin Park picnic tables) or any of its side roads creates a safety and access hazard for the residents there.
