Closure between Bear Creek and Monroe is still in effect. No safe bike/ped detour. Please do not enter the closed area, safer for you and the contractor. Trail should be open early next week.

It is unfortunate but necessary Monroe Rd to Bear Creek is closed. The work is in a very narrow corridor, with equipment trucks backing up it is safer for all to close it completely. Sorry for an inconvenience but all this rain has not been kind to many trails including this one. Hoping to be opened back up next week.

Be neighborly

As a reminder, the Trail corridor is average 60’ wide. If you are more than 30’ from center you are trespassing on private property.
This includes creek access, (for fishing or playing in the water, people and dogs) unless you are close to a bridge, again you are trespassing.
There are a couple of landowners that own on both sides of the trail, they are able to cross the trail (either with a vehicle or ATV) to enjoy all of their land.
A camping Policy is being developed and will be limited to designated areas.
Please be respectful and DO NOT TRESPASS, let’s be good neighbors. Thank you!

Hi!
Our good friend Val has offered to lead a series of group hikes along the trail. Let’s celebrate Opening Day for Trails on April 7th with a hike from Laneville to Monroe Rd. (just under four miles one way). This is a series of hikes from Freeport to Butler.
Don’t miss an opportunity to learn some of the history along the trail. With the leaves down, we will probably see things you have never noticed before.

We will be meeting at the Laneville Trailhead by the gate at 9 am.

Leashed fur Trail users are welcome. Please bring water and if there is enough interest we can have lunch at Lucy’s Riverside Cafe in Freeport.

UPDATED 3-28-18
Option 1-Hike both ways, about 8-Miles. No RSVP needed.

Option 2-Shuttle service back to your car courtesy of Workhorse Transport & Outfitter. Donation to the trail would be appreciated. RSVP needed. Please email butlerfreeporttrail@yahoo.com.
