In my case, the trail was closed during our ride. Checking the website was impossible. They need to do a better job of alerting of trail closures. The detour with kids would be terrifying! Most of the traffic was OK, but we were nearly taken out by a white van and there are no shoulders to go to. DNR should have temp marquees alerting motorists to the trail closing.
