Section of Rivergreenway temporarily closed for clean-up, repair
A section of the Rivergreenway is temporarily closed for repair and clean-up following this winter's flooding on the Maumee River.
The trail between Pemberton Drive at mile marker 2.0 to the North River Road trailhead at the 5.75 mile marker is undergoing repairs and removal of silt and debris.
In February, the Maumee River was at its highest level since 1991, covering some sections of the Rivergreenway with 3 to 4 feet of water. The high water left behind up to 2 feet of silt and dirt and many stray branches and downed trees on the trail.
The City Street Department has cleared the debris and much of the silt, but will keep the trail closed until it is fully repaired. The City will announce when this section has reopened.
