IMPORTANT NOTICE – Red Springs Trail Project

It’s now official; the Decision Notice to proceed with the construction of the Red Springs Single Track Motorized Trail System has been signed and released. However, the trails are not yet open for use and there are still a few additional hurdles to clear before we can actually break ground.

Brief history. This is an Arizona State Parks & Trails OHV Program funded project managed in conjunction with the US Forest Service, Nogales Ranger District and Trail Riders of Southern Arizona. It is located in the Tumacacori Mountains of Nogales District, Coronado National Forest, west of Tubac.

Over the past three years TRS and the FS have been working on this project in the form of NEPA, Public comments, trail mapping, trail design, hiking the proposed trails, re-routing sections for sustainability, endangered cactus surveys, etc. The system of trails will cover about 25 miles and be open to Dirt Bikes, Mt Bikes, Equestrian and Foot travel.

TRS wished to thanks all the volunteers who have participated in the supporting the work required to get to this stage of the project. Over 700 volunteer hours have been recorded thus far in support of the project. We also thank the Forest Service for their support and guidance received along the way.

So stay tune, there will be additional opportunity to volunteer in the very near term.
