RAT Expansion Project Underway with Support from CPW's Non-Motorized Trail Construction Grant!

With more than 30,000 trail users at the RAT during the 7-month operating window annually, the construction of five new miles of trail will greatly improve the user experience and enhance safety on the trails. At completion, the RAT will feature nearly 30 miles of connected trails.
