Please join us tomorrow for a lovely picnic at Lower Equestrian Park. We will have a few activities for the kids and distribute information about the RMLT.

Choose your own adventure and enjoy the trail from 8:00-11:00 am. Let us know what your favorite part of the RMLT is. What do you enjoy most about the trail?

Sorry to be negative but I don't know how we can celebrate something that is not functioning properly. Tires are flattening from the large gaps. It is throughout the entire RMT with the exception of the new part of the RMT on the Boulder City. This was once an awesome trail.

In 2003 I remember riding the three sisters from the dirt lot on Lake Mead to the end which was around 3 miles.

I am planning on riding the entire RMLT on Friday, October 6th. I would appreciate hearing from anybody who knows the current condition of the Trail and whether it is completely open. Thank you

I was informed today that the RMLT will be closed from MP 11.5 to MP 19 for repairs until October 11th

Hello All,

The City of Henderson is temporarily re-routing trail traffic around the railroad tracks near Railroad Pass Casino. We don't have a timetable for this closure yet.

Updates coming soon on the re-opening of this trail section.

It’ll be like this till next year or so .

Had a employee from Railroad museum, train is running but is being stop half down, it is not going pass Railroad Hotel and Casino he sad the track was damaged from Hilary and monsoon rain we had

Where does the trail reroute for this section?

I biked this today and there was no closure?!?!

Lisa Lohmann we will have remember this when we plan our long ride

For your safety = the government is all knowing and you must comply because you know no better!

Great, I’m usually hauling ass there, only to find a barricade 3 seconds till I hit them if I’m watching closely

Part of the F1 race construction?

Steve Burchell

There’s no easy “re-routing” once you’re at this point….

anything fun in henderson, the city wants to tax you to use.

Someone I know biked this section today from the ped bridge over the 11 to BC and said the trail was clear of all the dirt that was on the trail a week ago.

Mattchew Fisherino

Rode by the Railroad Pass today, no problem. Is it still closed elsewhere?

Used to ride this all the time when I lived in Vegas🚴‍β™€οΈπŸš΄‍♀️

We rode the trail Sunday, May 7,2023. The entire loop. All 34 miles, no closures, No detours. It was a beautiful day on the trail!πŸ˜ŽπŸš²β˜€οΈ There were so many riders, mostly on the Henderson side.

What are they building?

Is the construction completed?

Is the trail open now???

The River Mountain Loop Trail project is about to start construction. The trail will be closed from April 3rd at 8:00am- July 30th at 5:00pm for repair and resurfacing maintenance.

The maintenance work will begin at MM 11.5 on NPS land; however, part of the trail that falls onto the City of Henderson jurisdiction will be closed in order to redirect traffic onto the Lakeshore Road detour route.

the link to google maps does not work. I've tried several times on different devices and get an invalid error message each time. just to be clear, is there a detour or is part of the loop closed? if so, which miles as per mile marker signs?

Wow I had no idea this was happening. I got to ride it just in time πŸ‘πŸ» Thanks for such a great trail!

Just please DO NO use asphalt Slurry after 2 yrs that will be like riding the Cobbles of Roubaix

Love it! Just hope it’s a proper fix and not just filling cracks with slurry. Such a beautiful trail that needs rehab so it’s not a bunny hop fest. Thank you.

Oh great. Now the cone zone that covers nearly every road in the LV Valley now extends to bike trails. That's a mighty long time to close a popular bike route.

The link doesn’t work.

Interesting that a 3.8-mile grand prix F1 road race surface will be repaved in 5 weeks or so and fixing cracks along a three-mile stretch of trail takes nearly four months.

your link goes to an error code

Looks like more than 3 miles to me

As of yesterday, 4-30, the trail is still wide open.

Woohooo! Look at this, they’re finally fixing it. That area where I blew my tire out πŸ˜† Amanda Ringer

Good let’s maintain this gem.

I planned my vacation around riding the loop

So the entire trail isn't shut down just 3 miles of it ? I'm coming there in 8 days

Darcy Walker Fitch

Jeffrey Lewis

Marc-Nicole Emerson

Carla Jo Panico. Jordan D. Clark

So the next question is how safe is Lake Shore Rd? Will there be bike detour signage?

I

Mark

I rode 20.5 to 14 yesterday. It was open. Should be no need to shut off sections if they are not actively being worked.

4-21-2023 The trail is not closed. I just rode it and there is not one shovel, not one truck, not one worker.

They're doing water main construction. I live near there and was notified about the project.

Probably dropping construction materials to one of those mega mansions in the hill

Looks like a recovery or a rescue. Its been happening for a couple of hours.

i didnt get the f.b notice..

I'd like more info for when you guys do a cleanup.

Thanks everyone. I’ve been on the trail many times and it always looks so clean. What kind of trash do you find? Is the trash coming from the casino?

Thanks Thanks Thanks. As a cyclist I occasional stop and kick large rocks off the pavement but i don’t pick up trash. Too bad the “walkers” can’t help keep the rocks off when they come across them.

Thank you all volunteers. That area gets alot of trash blown in from freeway etc.
