Thanks to the FENW volunteers who built a "turnpike" at the South Willow and Mesa Cortina Trails intersection July 16, 2011.

The chart to the left represents the amount of traffic on five different trails during 2011. FENW uses the Trafx Trail and Monitoring System where we place the counters near each trail head (Lilly Pad, Ten Mile, Meadow Creek, & Lower Cataract Lake. As a person, dog, and animals pass through they are counted. Please note the traffic on Lilly Pad Trail during July. Since most people return to the trail head and are counted twice you have to divide the number (7195/2) which still represents about 3600 people used the trail during July.
