Volunteers finished installing a low water crossing on the Blue Trail in record time on July 26. The project, originally planned for two days, was completed Saturday with the hard work of some tough volunteers. Special thanks go out to Brad Corey, Mid-South Trails Association, and Peggy Hart, Brynda Read, Wes Mueller and Nathan Lubin from the Shelby Farms Equestrian Alliance.

The low water crossing was installed using geo-web and geo-cell, followed by a covering of limestone gravel. Bike riders please note that this section will be soft for a little while until it gets packed in. If you’re interested in trail work at the park, let us know (info@shelbyfarmspark.org). You can find details about upcoming trail work on signs in front of the Visitor Center.
