This eastern most segment of the Trail has been open since 2008. This is the first stretch of the Flamingo Arroyo Trail, that when finished, will extend to the UNLV campus.
The trail begins near the Sunrise Trailhead located on the northern boundary of the County Wetlands Park. To get to the trailhead go east on Vegas Valley Drive then turn south on Hollywood and follow the road for about 2.5 miles.
Currently, the trail extends northwest for almost two miles to Desert Inn. The segment that will connect from Desert Inn north to the pedestrian bridge at Vegas Valley is expected to be completed in 2012 as part of a development project adjacent to the Las Vegas Wash.

Flamingo/Arroyo Trail, Phase II
Flamingo Arroyo Trail - Pecos-McLeod Trailhead
more photos
Completed in the fall of 2010, this phase of the project included the installation of unique public amenities along portions of the Flamingo/Arroyo Trail. These amenities include trailheads, benches, signs, entry archways and shade shelters. Trailheads are located near Pecos McLeod, Lamb Boulevard, Sloan Lane and a wayside west of Sunrise Trailhead.
It is interesting to note that the artists hired to design many of the amenities, Kevin Berry, Barbara Grygutis and Buster Simpson, took much of their inspiration for the shade shelters/benches from early Paiute basketry and shade shelters.
To add some local historic flavor, the artists also incorporated large pieces of concrete rubble from the Stardust Hotel that was built in 1955 and imploded in 2007. These blocks from the Stardust pool were installed at the Pecos McLeod and Lamb Boulevard trailheads to serve as benches.

Laughlin's Colorado River Heritage Greenway Park and Trails project, named one of the nation's most promising projects designed to protect special places and reconnect Americans to the outdoors, is now open.
The project, also known as the North Reach, officially opened to visitors in late July. The Colorado River Heritage Greenway Park and Trail project is an amazing amenity for the community of Laughlin. It will greatly enhance the area as a destination for eco-tourism and outdoor adventure, and it will help preserve unique vistas and landscape for future generations.
The project consists of 9 miles of trails in the Laughlin area for bicyclists, pedestrians and equestrian riders, and includes expansion of the Laughlin Riverwalk, fully developed restrooms and trailheads, picnic sites, shade shelters, fishing piers, and a highway pedestrian bridge overpass and underpass providing access to the Colorado River. Visitors of all abilities can enjoy the trails and accessible fishing areas.
The Colorado River Heritage project is part of a larger regional trails system designed to link Laughlin and the surrounding community to the Lake Mead National Recreation Area and parts of Arizona.
The project has been nationally recognized as both an America's Great Outdoors Initiative Project and an America's Great Outdoors Rivers Initiative Project. The America's Great Outdoors Initiative highlights two projects in each of the 50 states that promote conservation and outdoor recreation and the America's Great Outdoors Rivers Initiative identifies 10 projects in the Pacific Northwest and Western States.
