Forest Park
Leif Erikson Drive at Germantown Road
The Leif Erikson Drive trailhead and parking area at Germantown Road will be closed on Monday, March 25, 2024 due to planned maintenance of the parking area. Please respect this closure and access the park via a different trailhead on this date.
Leif Erikson Drive
Leif Erikson Drive is closed at approximately milepost 3.25 due to an active rockfall. While this area may appear passable, large rocks are actively falling in the area. Due to this hazard, the road is closed for a short distance at this location. This closure prevents recreation through-traffic on the road. Leif Erikson Drive remains open between milepost 0 and the closure, and between milepost 3.25 and the end. The public may access the trails that connect to Leif Erikson Drive on either side of the slide, but through-traffic on the road itself is prohibited due to the closure. For your safety, please respect this trail closure and do not attempt through-travel on Leif Erikson Drive.
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 via 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.

There is a bridge out on the Wildwood Trail at mile 11.8. Please use the detour on Nature and Chestnut Trails to bypass the closure.

River View Natural Area
Trail 3 and Trail 6
Closures: Trail 3, in the southeast corner of River View Natural Area, is closed due to a catastrophic trail failure where it crosses Stream 6. The area is extremely unstable. Additionally, a segment of Trail 6 is closed due to an unstable drainage crossing. Please see map for details.
