Maple Trail
Effective immediately, Maple Trail is closed between Firelane 4 and Koenig Trail due to severe storm damage that has made the bridge crossing unsafe. We will be deploying crews out to assess the bridge conditions and install closure signage and barricades. Please do your part by respecting the closure and staying out of this area for now. Thank you! 

Ridge Trail parking area on NW Bridge Avenue
The Ridge Trail parking area on NW Bridge Avenue is closed indefinitely due to safety concerns. This area presents significant safety issues, including falling rock and inadequate space for pedestrians to walk safely along NW Bridge Avenue between the parking area and the trailhead. For your safety, please access the Ridge Trail by bus, bicycle, or walking; or, if you must drive, park your vehicle on the east side of the St. Johns Bridge and proceed across the bridge to the trail.
