Section c:

Description: New trail head parking area

Recommended action: Install a kiosk with positive signage explaining the proper behavior at Hunter’s Creek Park. Include:

 

·                                 A map showing the trail system with explanations about loops and seasonal areas.

·                                 A map/info on other riding and hiking areas in the region would help disperse use on busy days.

·                                 Emergency info

·                                 How to volunteer to help out with the park.

 

The trail segments closest to this area will see more use than any other trails in the park. It is critical to improve these sections so that they will hold up. Another way to disperse use and avoid congestion near the trail head is to use the bike lane proposed in the master plan for Centerline and Vermont Hill Road . A spur could extend across the bridge to the FLT and up to the entrance to trail segment 68.  This would allow cyclists to park in the lot and access the park trails from two other trailheads.
