Carson Valley Trails Fest Coming to James Lee Park

The Carson Valley Trails Association invites the public to attend our first ever Carson Valley Trails Fest – part trail dedication, part block party!

Opening new trails is always something worthy of a celebration. That’s why, when planning the official dedication of our latest addition to the Clear Creek Trail system, we decided wait for the fall weather to hold a larger ceremony than usual. What we have planned is something more akin to a block party than a trail dedication.

With help of many volunteers, local businesses and the Indian Hills General Improvement District, we are excited to be holding our first-ever Carson Valley Trails Fest. While we are specifically celebrating the 9 miles of additional trails that were completed this past spring, we see this as an opportunity to hold an annual celebration of the many recreational opportunities that our trails provide to the Carson Valley.

Our celebration will take place at James Lee Park on Saturday October 15th between 11 a.m. and 1:30 pm. Expect lots of fun for the whole family with festivities that include:

• Official dedication of the new lower extension of the Clear Creek Trail which connects our Jacks Valley Rd trailhead to the new trailhead at James Lee Park, including the new Jack Valley Loop trail.
• Live Music by Robin Orr & Co. featuring a mix of contemporary pop and original music
• Kitchen 1851 food truck, CV Flyte beverage truck and possibly others
• Silent auction featuring numerous items donated by local businesses
• Kid’s bike rodeo by Safe Routes to School
• Information booths from many local businesses and organizations including Alpine Trails, Bike Habitat, Carson Valley Medical Center, Muscle Powered and many more.

The Carson Valley Trails Association is a nonprofit organization working with partners to provide access to public lands through a recreational trail system for present and future generations to enjoy.
