Evergreen Lake North Trail is OPEN ... thanks to EPRD's Parks Department!

Meet Heart Cameron, EPRD's Park Operations Manager. 

Heart and his crew, working with the Evergreen Metropolitan District, are the reason the Evergreen Lake Trail between Upper Bear Creek Road and Evergreen Dam along Highway 74 is finally open! 

They have been working diligently to replace a bin wall (a U-shaped underground support structure) that had crumbled almost completely to dust because of 30 years of use and a lot of water, leaving the trail unsupported and unsafe. 

They also set anchors to complete maintenance on the handrails and resurfaced the trail. 

What's that in Heart's hand in the picture below? The last remaining bit of bin wall. We may mount it on the wall at Park Ops HQ!

This Should Last a While

But it's not over. This is a creative short-term solution that gets the trail open for the community.  We may still need to do maintenance from time to time on the trail, so expect occasional short closures. 

EPRD continues to work on the planning phases of a long-term solution for the trail system. Please monitor EPRD's website for updates.

We highlighted the piece of wall so you can see the only piece of bin wall that had survived. The rest had crumbled to dust.

The trail is open for your use!
