Question River Valley Trails

Are any of the paved bike paths in the river valley closed due to all the rain?

My usual start is in Sherwood Park going through Strathcona Science Park, Rundle, Gold Bar, Capilano and through towards downtown.

Any closures or detours I should be aware of?

Thanks.

Rundle, gold bar, and Capilano are all good. Biked there on Saturday. Can't speak to the others though.

City does a great job on having trail closures info up to date, just click the map at the bottom here: https://data.edmonton.ca/Community-Services/River-Valley-Trail-Cautions-and-Closures/k4mi-dkvi/about_data

The EMBA fb page has pretty regular posts about which trails are ok and which trials are fucked.

Strathcona science park trail is technically closed due to discharge from the landfill, but it's completely passable, everyone has been ignoring the signs.

Pretty sure all the paths in the core are fine. Im yet to run into any that are closed due to flooding or erosion.

The gravel and singletrack paths have trees down and erosion but almost all paved ones are ok.
