A reminder with the warmer weather - the Raccoon River Valley Trail is still closed from Redfield to Linden.
This section closed on August 7th 2023. There is no official "OPEN" date yet.
This section will be closed for trail and bridge rehab. The Redfield Depot remains open.
See photo for closure area (map from Scott Matter) .
The town in the bottom right is Redfield.
The photo icons are where the bridges are out.
The red line is the trail.
Folks have been taking the gravel road as an unofficial detour (see yellow line that outlines the gravel road) . We repeat "Unofficial detour".
We have not ridden the detour yet, but see that other folks have posted about it.
Here are two news posts about the closure:
