The Lake Trail following a path completely around the Glenshire Lake is becoming a reality. Starting at a trailhead behind the clubhouse, it will stretch over 4,000 feet 6 feet wide. It will meander over a proposed bridge across the spillway, the existing dam and then back to the clubhouse across the wetlands on a wooden boardwalk. The trail will have several rest areas with trees, boulders, shrubs and rocks. 1,800 feet of decomposed granite was installed in the fall of 2002 to kick off the project. The trailhead was started in October 2003. Six hundred feet of boardwalk was installed in the fall of 2005. Another section of 350 to 400 feet of decomposed granite was installed in the spring of 2006. The end of the summer of 2008 brought us the completion of two new sections of board walk across confluence McKay Creek and Union Valley Creek.

A fund raising campaign is in effect through the Truckee Tahoe Community Foundation. Check with the Association office for special sponsorship opportunities.

The Association has also received support from the Cambridge Homeowners Association to have the Truckee Donner Recreation and Park District allocate $25,000 from Quimby fees generated by their development. Our open space is dedicated for public use and therefore meets the main criteria for the use of these fees.

Our trail committee is currently working on securing funding for the bridge across the spillway to complete the Lake Trail. Other projects in the works are:

• Improving the link between the Lake Trial and the Glenshire General Store
• Developing a link between the Lake Trail and the Eastern end of the Truckee River Legacy Trail
• Improving the Glenshire Elementary trail and tying it into the Bluffs overlook trail..
  

For more information on getting involved or donating to the project please call the Association office.
