Albemarle County Parks and Recreation has asked CAMBC to spread the word:
Please do not ride, walk, or run off the (grassy) backside of the dam at Walnut Creek Park. Please stay on the trail across the middle of the dam and on established trails on either end of the dam.
Although it can be fun to ride off the steep, open back side of the dam to connect directly to the trail that parallels the creek at its base, the down-side of many riders doing so is damage to the grass covering of the earthen dam and higher risk of erosion of the dam itself. The dam must pass local and state inspections annually -- ruts or damage to the grass covering of the dam sides and spillway may result in the dam not passing inspection. If the dam does not pass inspection, the trail crossing the dam and the trails on the far side of the dam may be closed to cyclists and other trail users.
The County is also working on a plan that is compliant with state code to fix the mud and ruts that now characterize the existing trail across the top of the dam.
If you are interested in building more fun trails at Walnut Creek and other county parks, please check our trailwork page for our next trail work day or email info@cambc.org for how to get involved in upcoming trail building, maintenance, and design.
Thank you for your cooperation and for your help spreading the word! - CAMBC
