Waverly Rail Trail Storm Cleanup and Maintenance

posted in Leisure Services on August 10, 2026

The Waverly Rail Trail was temporarily closed today as City staff worked to clear storm-related debris. The section from Waverly’s trailhead to Highway 63 has been cleared of large debris and reopened this afternoon. However, some storm debris remains and additional cleanup is needed.

The Rail Trail will close again tomorrow, Tuesday, August 11, from 7:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. as City staff continue cleanup efforts and perform additional maintenance mowing.

Thank you for your patience and cooperation as we work to keep the Rail Trail safe, clean, and accessible for everyone.
