Trail Work

In 2025 the Jericho Underhill Park District Board of Trustees has plans to work on both the Fieldstone West and Fieldstone East Trails.

Fieldstone East work will begin in the 2nd half of 2025.  More details to come!

Fieldstone West Trail Work:  (Update June 4, 2025)

The hard rains we are experiencing more frequently continue to assail our trails, eroding them and creating mud bogs.  We have three particularly bad sections of the lower part of Fieldstone West trail that we plan to repair this summer.

Rabbit Track Trail Works wants to start around mid-June. We expect the repairs to be done fairly quickly, but, of course, that is contingent on the weather.

These repairs will not be of the scale of the 2023 repairs to the upper section of Fieldstone West. This work will be as minimally invasive to the natural elements of the trail as possible; repairing trail-side ditching and out-sloping the trail’s grade to encourage water to flow parallel to the trails instead of down the trail, which causes erosion.  We anticipate that investing in these repairs and drainage improvements will resolve much of the erosion and the resulting muddy trail conditions. Our goal is to maintain safe, dry and firm walking surfaces.

When will the improvements be completed? We hope that with good weather, Rabbit Track Trail Works can complete the repairs by the end of June. The Fieldstone West Trail will remain open during the upcoming restoration work. Please exercise caution when walking through the work area. Thank you!
