Thursday September 17th a portion of the Cape LaCroix Recreational Trail will be closed due to maintenance repair project. A section just south of the trail entrance by the Arena Park Sand Volleyball Courts will be closed down, while Park staff repair a pipe that goes under the trail and repairs that section of the trail. The goal is to complete the project by the end of this week, and open this section back up by the weekend if possible. Please bear with us as we work to make improvements to the Cape LaCroix Recreational Trail.
