🚨RTMP Project Update-Coyote Gulch Trail System Development🚨

🚧THE PROJECT👷🏻‍♀️
👉40-acre erosion control project to restore and protect the Coyote Gulch area within Zone 3.
👉Goal is to improve the health of the stream and surrounding landscape by reshaping the stream channel, repairing and reducing erosion damage, and restoring native vegetation.
👉Opportunity for new trail additions once the restoration is complete with public participation in sustainable trail design.
👉RTMP recommends opening the Coyote Gulch area to motorcycles, including trials, and ATVs.

🚧PROJECT PHASES👷🏽
👍Stream Restoration
The seasonal stream within the Coyote Gulch area will be reshaped and restored to a more natural form to help slow down water flow, reduce erosion, and improve overall stream function. Once the stream has been restored, fencing will be installed along the stream corridor to protect it.
👍Road and Trail Crossings
New culverts will be installed where roads and trails cross the stream to allow water to flow more naturally and prevent damage from vehicle use.
👍Trail and Soil Restoration
Damaged trails and deeply eroded soils will be graded and reshaped to restore natural conditions. These areas will be replanted with native plants to stabilize the soil and improve habitat with additional measures like erosion control fabric and straw used to help plants establish and prevent runoff.
⛔Closures
The Coyote Gulch area in Zone 3 will be completely closed to public use during construction after Hangtown Motocross Classic in June.
⏱️Timeline
The project begins late March 2026 with an estimated completion date by the summer of 2028.

RTMP UNDERWAY-👍
The Road & Trail Management Plan implementation phase has begun. Riders will notice several areas of the park either being developed or under restoration. These projects reflect public input provided over the past several years of the plan's development.

For a review of the RTMPs Summary of Recommendations Map, visit Prairie City SVRA's main webpage. We thank you for your initial input and look forward to more in the final trail/route phases of these projects. RTMP progress will be posted on social media, our main website and at the quarterly Prairie City Improvement Group (PCIG) Meetings.

Current and upcoming projects include:
👉Coyote Gulch Trail System Development (Zone 3, area behind Pro-Am Track/Spectator Hill)
👉 ROV Pit Track Area (Zone 4, new area for development in former gravel pit next to Obstacle Course)
👉MX Practice Track Expansion (Zone 3, next to ATV Practice Track & Main Staging Area)
👉Zone 6 Trail System Development (new area for development on the west side of main entrance road after the kiosk)

Together, we're steering the future-improving connections, building trails, protecting the ride and expanding access!

Hungry Valley SVRA - Quail Canyon Update!

A work plan has been approved by the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health to drill a new well to supply the Quail Canyon Special Event Area with a sustainable source of water. The new well will need to be connected to an electrical panel, booster pumps, and water treatment facility. Additional environmental review, as well as permits from multiple state agencies may be required throughout the well construction process. Updates on the process will be made as they become available.
