Completed Trail Projects

This 2.5 mile long path is a wonderful bicycle and pedestrian trail linking unincorporated Bunkerville and the City of Mesquite. The trail is separated but runs parallel to State Route 170 on the north side of the road, increasing bicycle and pedestrian safety along this stretch of highway. The trail is being enjoyed by the residents in both communities.  

One of the most unique aspects of this trail is the lighting that was installed for increased safety at night. In the desert climate this is a great feature that lets trail users get some exercise after dark when the temperatures drop a little bit. Also there are benches and shade structures along the route to provide trail users a place to rest and get out of the sun. Additionally trail users will cross 3 bridges that span washes along the route keeping them safe from flood waters.

This section of the multi-use pedestrian trail stretches a little over a mile along the Flamingo Wash and serves as an extension of the Flamingo Arroyo Trail.

This eastern most segment of the Trail has been open since 2008 and was the first stretch of the Flamingo Arroyo Trail. The trail spans 2.5 miles between Vegas Valley and the Sunrise Trailhead that is 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.

For a few years, the Sunrise Trailhead was the eastern most destination of the Flamingo Arroyo Trail. A new trail connection now takes trail users to the County Wetlands Park where they can continue east through the Park along the north side of the Las Vegas Wash. This is a very scenic trail section with great views of nature in and around the Wash. This is also an important trail segment because users can now connect with trails in Henderson and to the River Mountains Loop Trail as well.

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.

This three-mile section of the Flamingo Arroyo Trail serves as part of the Las Vegas Valley Primary Trails System. Some parts of this trail are even lighted for use at night.

This unique trail combines on-street connections on Nellis and Sahara and off-street segments adjacent to the Flamingo Wash between Nellis and I-515. The eastern end of the trail connects to a pedestrian bridge over Vegas Valley allowing users to continue on to the Sunrise Trailhead to the south. It also connects to the Las Vegas Wash Trail near Sloan Lane.

Cyclists traveling west to east need to take note that they will be transitioning from the trail to the street after crossing the pedestrian bridge at Nellis. They will then ride north on Nellis and east on Sahara to connect with the Las Vegas Wash Trail at Sahara and Sloan Lane. The reverse route also utilizes Sahara and Nellis to reconnect with the Flamingo Arroyo Trail west of Nellis. Pedestrians can use existing sidewalks to make this connection in either direction.

The trail extends just over 5 miles along the western side of the I-215 Beltway between Tropicana and Charleston. This trail segment is an important component of the Las Vegas Valley Primary Trails system and a key link to trails in the City of Las Vegas.    

This unique trail provides not only recreation opportunities but it serves a dual role as an alternative transportation route for employees that bike to work in this part of the Valley. Surveys indicate that this is a popular trail for bikers and with the completion of this one-mile extension use is certainly expected to increase.

Laughlin's Colorado River Heritage Greenway Park and Trails project, was named one of the nation's most promising projects designed to protect special places and reconnect Americans to the outdoors.

The project, also known as the North Reach, officially opened to visitors in 2012. 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.

The network ultimately spans roughly 23 total miles between Charleston and Wigwam, and Decatur and the Red Rock detention basin, offering a unique variety of trail experiences.

Families, walkers, runners, cyclists and even equestrians can enjoy different trails in this part of the Valley. The combination of trails and on-street connections link up with parks, schools, neighborhoods, commercial developments and even an equestrian trailhead on Wigwam and Durango.
