Event Permit Matrix for River Mountains Loop Trail

Silverman Connector web

Silverman Triathlon bike portion of event

Because the River Mountains Loop Trail has become “found” and is popular for special group events we have had to develop a permitting process to handle events.

There are four permitting entities which have different requirements. Below is a permit matrix which will get you started.  We want everyone to enjoy the trail and we wish to prevent conflicts with multiple events planned for the same day and same segments/portions of the trail.

Also we can not have everyone applying their own version of trail markings on the trail so rules and guidelines are  now in place.  And one of the main reasons for permits is to not over permit the use of the trail such that the average Joe & Jane can go out on a Sunday trail ride with family and enjoy it.

The River Mountains Loop Trail is already home to several large Marathon and Triathlon events on an annual basis. The lead times listed in the matrix could be much longer if you require a specific date so we recommend you start early and contact all entities involved.

The SCORP is a 10-year plan that establishes priorities to address unmet needs for public outdoor recreation land throughout the state.

The River Mountains

The River Mountains Loop Trail detour will begin 8/4/25 and last for 30 days to install waterline adjacent to the RMLT between reservoirs R7 &R12 (approx. 2,500 feet) along with two trail crossings. The waterline trench is within a few feet of the edge of trail and would pose a hazard to the trail traffic being in close proximity to the open trench and equipment. Several options were considered by the City of Henderson, and the attached detour was selected as the safest and easiest physically option to the public while keeping the trail functional and on similar pavement. ...
