A small section of the Waterfront Trail through Colonel Samuel Smith Park will be closed for construction, resulting in a long-term detour during construction hours (Monday to Friday from 7:00am to 4:00pm).

Beginning January 2025 and continuing through 2027, there will be ongoing work on long-term repair and reconstruction of erosion control structures in the area. The project will protect the park, trails, and aquatic and terrestrial habitat from shoreline erosion by placing large new rocks along the shoreline that can withstand heavy wave action.

The Trail will be closed Monday to Friday from 7:00am to 4:00pm, but open evenings and weekends. A detour route is in place, with detour signage installed on-site (See above image).
