1. Singletracks Hours?

The trail system will be open daily from sunrise to sunset when the trail status is posted as open. The trail system may be closed when snow, ice, wet, or muddy conditions are present or for occasional maintenance operations or a permitted special event is scheduled to occur.

Subscribe to text or email alerts for all closure notification. Closures will be posted on the Erie Singletrack webpage.

2. Why do you close the Erie Singletrack?

Parks & Recreation staff have the right to close the facility at any time without notice. Staff will enact closures if the following criteria are met: wet/muddy conditions present, snowy/icy conditions present, Parks Division maintenance operations, and/or Town-permitted special event. Staff will not implement partial closures – Entire trail closures will be enacted if any conditions are present that meet the established trail closure protocols. If closures are enacted, they will remain in effect for a minimum of a 24 hour period from the time that they were last assessed.

We appreciate your patience during these times.

3. When are trails assessed and the status posted whether they open or closed?

Staff will assess trail conditions on a daily basis at 7 a.m. during peak usage months (March through November) and post the status of the trails if there is a change in the closure status. Staff will assess conditions during winter months (December through February) less frequently than during peak usage months. Staff will assess and post closures on an as needed or weekly basis. 

Closures will be posted on the Erie Singletrack webpage.
