PARK UPDATE

Fall Update!
 
🚨 ASHTON-TETONIA TRAIL UPDATE — EVERYTHING IS OPEN! 🚨
Good news, trail users! 🎉
All Ashton-Tetonia Trail parking areas and the entire trail are currently OPEN and available for use! 🚲🐴🥾
We know there have been several closures and construction activities over the past year, so we’re happy to let everyone know that you can currently access the trail from all of our parking areas and travel the full length of the trail.
🌿 A quick note about vegetation
The section of trail between the Fall River Trestle and the Grainville Parking Lot currently has some areas of overgrown vegetation. We are aware of the issue and are working to get it cleaned up. Unfortunately, we are currently waiting on parts for our mower before we can get out and mow that section. We appreciate your patience while we get the equipment back up and running.
🏗️ There is still work ahead
While everything is open right now, construction and improvement work on the Ashton-Tetonia Trail is not completely finished. Additional work will take place in different sections of the trail and at some of the parking areas in the near future.
Because of this, additional temporary closures will be necessary as work progresses.
📢 Stay up to date!
We will post information about upcoming closures, construction schedules, and reopening dates here on our Facebook page as those details become available.
Before heading out, we encourage everyone to check our Facebook page for the most current trail information.
For now, get out there and enjoy the trail! 🌄🚲🐴🥾
Thank you for your patience and understanding throughout the construction process. We appreciate everyone who continues to enjoy, support, and care about the Ashton-Tetonia Trail!
The entire trail and all parking areas are OPEN — come enjoy the trail!
 

The Ashton Visitor Center is currently open 3 days per week; please call the park to confirm open days. 

Please be mindful of your speed while recreating on the Ashton-Tetonia Trail to ensure a safe and enjoyable visit for all. Class 3 e-bikes, motorized ATVs, OHVs, & vehicles are not permitted on the trail.
