Description

Several recent additions to the Moody Park trail network are currently unnamed or unmarked. The trails shown here depict the current trail layout with the exception of a few connector routes. The Claremont Parks & Recreation Department is working with park visitors and trail users to make trail network improvements, including naming and signing of trail segments.
