January 10 the river came out of its banks.

If you are in a wheelchair, beach tires are advisable. 100 feet of the path has a 4″ layer of sand deposited on top of the asphalt walkway. The sand makes narrow wheel passage a challenge.

NOTE! February 12 Parks and Recreation staff were out early Monday morning (2/12/2024) and did a commendable job of clearing sand from the trail in Riverview Park. It is now easy to pass with skinny tires (wheelchairs, strollers, road bikes)
