- Document Description
- Re-route the upper end of the Grapevine Trail at Henry W. Coe State Park to reduce erosion and improve the trail user experience. The upper 500 meters of the trail is currently straight and steep (average grade of 18.8%) with very little shade. The new trail will be approximately 820 meters long, thereby reducing the average grade to 10.7% and nearby oak trees will provide shade. Trail will be constructed following the Departmental Trail Guidelines, using a small trail dozer for initial construction of 4 foot wide full bench cut trail, followed by crew with hand tools completing the finish work. Small sections of fence will be removed where the fence crosses the trail. The entire fenceline will be documented by a qualified cultural resources professional prior to construction. Once the trail realignment is complete, the original trail will be obliterated using hand tools and nearby fallen limbs and vegetation.
