Exciting Update: The Trail is Open!

​

We are pleased to announce that the Thermal Belt Rail Trail is now open in its entirety! However, we urge everyone to exercise caution, especially on the northern end, as there is still significant cleanup work to be done along the sides of the trail. Enjoy your time out there, and thank you for your patience as we continue to restore the area!​
