Winding Stairs Park will be closed for at least one week while the Friends of Winding Stairs work crews cut out fallen limbs and trees from the Red Oak and Milk Pail trails. We hope to reopen those trails by Monday, February 9, 2026. Watch this website and the City of Lafayette website.

The Cascades Trail will require major repairs and will remain closed until further notice.

Thank you for your patience.
