LOTS of destination runs coming up for September while we wait for changes to be made at Lake Medina !!
Exciting improvements are coming to Lake Medina! Construction of a new paddlecraft launch and fishing pier will begin at the end of August. The pier will extend from the shoreline into the lake and feature two paddlecraft launches, including an ADA-accessible launch. It will also provide designated areas where visitors can comfortably sit or stand while fishing.
In addition, the lower trail will be repaved during September. To help crews complete these improvements safely and efficiently, there will be two phases of closures. We appreciate your patience and cooperation while this work is underway.
Monday, August 31–Sunday, September 13
Granger Road Entrance and Picnic Shelter/Steps Closed
The Granger Road entrance and parking lot will be closed, along with the picnic shelter and steps near that entrance. Heavy construction equipment will be operating in these areas as crews work on installing a paddlecraft launch.
During this phase, please access Lake Medina from the Route 18 entrance or through Shotwell Gardens. The upper and lower trails will remain open but will be closed near the picnic shelter/steps by the Granger Road entrance.
Monday, September 14–Friday, September 25
Lake Medina Closed
Lake Medina will be closed from September 14–25 while crews repave the lower trail and complete riprap installation around the dam. During this phase, Shotwell Gardens will remain open; however, access to Lake Medina will be closed at the bridge near the pump house and mural.
Thank you for your patience and understanding as we make these improvements to Lake Medina. We look forward to providing visitors with new opportunities to enjoy the lake!
