The Ecusta Trail is right on track for a June 2025 opening — and we’re getting closer every day! Here is an update on trail progress for Henderson County, given at the April Rail Trail Advisory Committee (RTAC) Meeting:
✅ Phase 1 construction is on schedule- Hooray!
✅ All essential safety features will be in place for opening
✅ Six businesses have signed on as Trail Partners to offer parking, restrooms, and water to trail users
✅ Federal grant reviews are ongoing, but no construction delays are expected
A few reminders:
• Waste bins may not be installed by opening
• E-scooters will follow city & county rules
• Bike races won’t be allowed — safety first!
• Permitted events will begin in 2026, starting with a spring celebration hosted by Friends of Ecusta Trail
This summer marks a huge milestone — and we can’t wait to welcome you to the trail!
