We encourage your attendance and comments to ensure that this last piece of the River Mountains Loop Trail is done right and with trail users in mind. The (EA) Environmental Assessment is a critical path item for final design and approval for construction. Segment #14 has many R.O.W. and land ownership issues but once complete will offer some of the most interesting views and history along the trail. It will also connect Henderson, Lake Las Vegas, Lake Mead Parkway Trail, and Wetlands Park Trails to Lake Mead National Recreation Area.
