Dave, the loop will still exist, but is only temporarily re-routed due to construction.

What is the future of the loop with the expansion of the DMNS currently closing the trail?

I just ran the whole loop for the first time this morning and love it. I especially love that ‘postcard’ view of the city from the north side. And it’s funny, I noticed the geese and goose poop but it didn’t bother me so much. I think it’s funny how we human beings want to so closely manage our animal friends on this planet. While, we want a diverse and interesting assembly of exotic animals caged and maintained next door at the zoo for our “viewing pleasure”, we are intolerant of the indigenous geese who want to share the park with us. I don’t mind them being there at all.

Thank you for the map! I think it will definitely help. I noticed at least three nicely unobtrusive but visible points of signage on this morning’s run, and came looking for more information. I really enjoy this trail; it’s a great way to have a good 5k route without having to run alongside traffic the whole time.

Hi Greg,
Parks and Recreation is aware of the problem and you may have noticed they have started planting tall grass around the lake to discourage the geese from nesting in the park as much (the less they have easy access to and from the lake and shore, the less they will nest in the park). I would encourage you to pass your concerns along to Parks and Recreation, however. We have done the same!
