Greetings all - looking forward to another trail season. I've been getting calls and emails about visiting the trail so I thought I'd post an updated list of detours for those planning trips this year. As always I will post on here if we get any new damage or temp closures that arise.
Here's a list of current closures and detours:
- A bridge approach to our bridge, No. 211, over the Elkhorn River between Oakdale and Neligh is still out so you will need to take the highway shoulder between Oakdale and Neligh for about 4 miles.
- Between Neligh and Clearwater there is a section of trail that is permanently closed due the river reclaiming the trail in this section. You will need to take 519th ave back to the highway and ride around on the highway for about 3 miles. You can take 517th ave and head south to get back on to the cowboy trail. About a 2.5 mile detour for this one.
On NGPC's online trail map it will show a closure just east of the Niobrara River trail bridge, it is passable at the moment but exercise caution in the area. These detours are likely to remain the same for the remainder of 2025.
Happy Trails!
