The Canyon Lakes District Ranger of the Roosevelt National Forest is partnering with Wildlands Restoration Volunteers to reconstruct the Lady Moon Meadow Loop Trail, located southeast of Red Feather Lakes.
The reconstructed loop will provide a unique opportunity as it will comply with trail accessibility guidelines providing greater opportunities for visitors. The loop will be approximately two miles long with compacted road base to accommodate wheelchair users and boardwalk structures to reduce negative impacts on wet meadow sections of the trail.
Wildlands Restoration Volunteers received matching funds from the Colorado Parks and Wildlife State Trails Grant to help make this project possible. Along with this support, additional construction assistance is also planned with the Poudre Wilderness Volunteers.
“It is wonderful to see so many of our partners come together to provide this improved recreation opportunity,” Canyon Lakes District Ranger Dennis Kuhnel said.
Work could begin as soon as June 15, 2023. During construction, impacts to visitors should be minimal. The parking lot will remain open, and hikers and horseback riders should not expect any closures. There may be small delays or travel difficulty during some phases of the work. The goal is to have much of the work completed by fall 2023 with some finishing touches taking place in 2024.
