Pathway Plowing Updates March 30, 2020 Parks and Rec started clearing the 3 Creek section of pathway on Sunday, March 29th. It will likely take a couple of days to get all of the snow removed. The Moose-Wilson/390 pathway from Lake Creek to the Village will start getting plowed this coming week as well. Don’t […]
With so many people out on the pathways right now, a lot of whom might not regularly use pathways and are perhaps a little rusty on their pathways etiquette, Friends of Pathways and the Jackson/Teton County Pathways program would like to remind the community of pathways usage guidelines that help keep all users safe and […]

After a hearing more stories of bike crashes there (handlebars are getting wider right?) and having to try and shore up the half bench trail that dips under the rock on a steep […]
This week the crew worked with another great volunteer group from the Beckett YMCA for 2 days on the West Game trail. They built a turnpike and a small reroute at a seasonal runoff between bridge 3 and 4. They also built a causeway to raise the approach to bridge 3 above the creek which […]
