Help! Trinity Trail Needs You!
Trinity Trail has suffered extensive damage to the trail from the recent heavy rains. We are hoping you can come to the workday this Saturday. We really want to get the trails open again. Mother Nature was hard on our trail. If you ride on the trail or want to in the future, please come out and do your part.
We will meet at 9am at the Brockdale Trailhead. You may want to pack a lunch and bring water because we may be out there more than 2 or 3 hours. We will be repairing damage to the trail, pruning, picking up trash, and clearing culverts, both north and south of Brockdale.
Please make sure you have sturdy work gloves. If you can bring pruners and/or lopers, and some trash bags that would be great.
Call Duke at 214-422-2929 or Charlie at 972-824-3369 if you are coming. We want to make sure we have a enough vehicles to transport people to the work areas. Please help if you can.
Updated March 24, 2012
Notice: Storm flood damage has washed out a trench across the Trail about 1.5 miles from the Brockdale Park Trailhead. This trail is CLOSED until the damage can be repaired (perhaps 2 weeks?).
Brockdale Park North trail is also closed due to muddy conditions, but this will likely change once drier conditions have dried things out a bit.
If you have questions, you may contact Charlie Gaines, the Trail Steward.
