News and alerts

The Lost Valley trail within the wetland area near Cooper Creek is closed until a permanent boardwalk can be built over this environmentally sensitive area. The proposed route of the new boardwalk is muddy, making this area temporarily impassable and causing damage to the wetland. Construction of a permanent boardwalk that is elevated above the wetland is scheduled to begin early summer of 2026. 

Signs for trail closure to protect the wetland section of the trail

On March 26th, the Public Works Engineering team planted native greenery along a new trail segment connecting Eagle Harbor Drive to Finch Road.

Once overrun with ivy and blackberry, the area is getting a fresh start with rhododendron, strawberry, kinnickinnick, salal, sword fern, snowberry, and native roses.

Project overview

The City proposes to provide public access to the City’s Lost Valley properties for passive recreational use, and to provide a non-motorized connection between Wyatt Way and Fletcher Bay Road. This connection is envisioned as part of a larger trail network between downtown Winslow and Gazzam Lake Park.
