City of Highland’s
21st Annual Community Trails Day
Saturday, April 18, 2015
(8:00a.m to 10:30a.m.)

This year the City of Highland will be hosting their 21st Annual Community Trails Day event on Saturday, April 18, 2015, at the Historic Iron Bridge Trailhead. The Old Iron Bridge is located off of Greenspot Road near the base of the Seven Oaks Dam. A ribbon cutting ceremony will commemorate the completion of the Historic Iron Bridge restoration project. Information regarding the proposed trailhead interpretive site future multi-use trails with their linkages to the city wide trails system, and linkages to the Santa Ana River Trail will be available. Maps of other City of Highland trails, bike paths, and multi-use trails will be available and on display.

San Bernardino Valley Water Conservation District is co-sponsoring the event and will have staff on hand to discuss their Preliminary Trails Master Plan for the Upper Santa Ana Wash. The SBVWCD is permitting access to an area of the wash where visitors are invited to enjoy a leisurely 2.8 mile walk or trailbike ride around the Barrow Pit used for mining sand and aggregate to construct the Seven Oaks Dam. Along the loop trail travelers can stop at the SBVWCD booth and learn more about the conservation of the wash and management of the watershed. The MARKS club, a radio control aircraft club, has as an official flying site in the Barrow Pit and will have members available to discuss club activities and provide demonstration of their flying skills.

The morning hike will take place in the wilds of the Santa Ana River wash which contains sensitive habitat. All attendees are asked to stay on the trails. As with all outdoor excursions, those participating should be prepared with good shoes, sun protection, water, and always be vigilant for wildlife on the trail.
