You may have already seen this project if you’ve been riding in the Headlands: Old Springs Trail is now fully closed through August 3 while crews replace 6 damaged boardwalks. This is a hard closure for the entire duration of the project, so there will be no access during construction for visitor safety.

California State Parks is starting maintenance on Coast View Trail from Wednesday, April 1 through May.
The trail will stay OPEN, but expect:
• Active work crews (weekdays and/or weekends) with signage and crews to direct traffic
• Heavy equipment + hand crews
• Possible delays; be ready to slow or stop
Work includes heavy brushing, reshaping of tread — including segments of deep entrenchment — and enhancing drainage features to keep the trail riding better long-term.
