Gate Belmore Trail

gate

 

The Gate to Belmore is now under construction! The railroad line was acquired in 1996 by the County and is not currently developed for public use. This corridor links the urban trail system from Tumwater near Kenneydell Park with the south county communities of Gate and Rochester. When fully developed, the 12.5-mile trail will offer access to the Black River and run adjacent to the Black River-Mima Prairie Glacial Heritage Preserve and Black River Natural Area just south of Littlerock.
