Construction Started

Construction on the trail lowering between Bridges 3 and 4 began today, Tuesday 9/12. The trail is now closed beyond Bridge 3.  NO ADMITTANCE into the construction site beyond bridge 3. Also, it is important to YIELD to Equipment between the Trail Head and the Construction Site. WDNR hopes to complete the work this week, or early next. We'll keep you updated on progress. Thank you!

Trail construction and maintenance by WDNR is made possible with supplemental financial support by the Friends of McGilvray Road.*

​The Friends of McGilvray Road Welcomes You

The Friends is an ALL volunteer organization dedicated to
  • maintaining the old McGilvray roadway as a hiking trail and
  • preserving the six remaining historic bridges
as a service to present and future generations who are interested in history and enjoy natural areas.  

​*Did you Know?
​Your State Taxes do not pay for all of the  maintenance of The McGilvray Road hiking trail.  DNR funds for managing the trail and Van Loon Wildlife Area are limited.  Monies and labor contributed by the Friends of McGilvray Road (FMR) have been critical in completing many projects and keeping the trail usable.  Please help us continue our work by joining FMR or making a contribution.
Enjoy learning about the history and characteristics of the McGilvray Road and bridges,  and of and the people who work to make them available to all.
