Oakmont Trail

About this Project

The Oakmont Trail seeks to connect the Blais Pedestrian Bridge to Boudreau Road along the north side of the Sturgeon River Valley, through a multi-use trail system. This system connects to the existing trail and will be constructed as a combination of paved multi-use trail, a wooden decked bridge and boardwalk leading to a set of wooden stairs.

Partial Trail Open: The following portions of Oakmont Trail are now open for public use.

East portion from Blais Bridge to the trail beside 84OUL Orchard Court.
West portion from Boudreau Road to Riverbank Landing. This section includes stairs.

The closure of the remaining trail section and access to the pedestrian bridge will be constructed in 2027. We thank you for your patience as we work with our partners to complete this work to our trail system.
