The Land Trust is thrilled to announce final safety upgrades coming soon to Keystone Preserve—we’re almost there! 🙂

With the highly anticipated public opening of Keystone Preserve this fall – including the trail system and beach access – ensuring safe entry into the Preserve from the highway is our top priority.

⚠️🚧 Construction will begin soon on a northbound left turn lane on HWY 525, giving visitors and school buses coming from the south a safe spot to wait before turning into the property. Construction will continue through August, and updates will be posted on our website and page.

We apologize for any highway travel delays during this time, but we’re committed to making sure that everyone who visits this beautiful property can do so safely. The finish line is in sight and we can’t wait to welcome you to Keystone Preserve!
