Lehigh Portland State Park opened today (8/12/26). I've updated the new area to include what I could based on heatmaps, imagery, and old survey data, but I haven't surveyed since it opened to verify if everything is correct.

This area, and the other side of the lake north of 17th Road are part of the Wilson Cadman Environmental Education Area, also known as the Wolf Creek Environmental Education Area. I've mapped the buildings and roads, but there are also hiking trails. I'm unsure of what hiking trails currently exist here, and if they match what you can see on imagery. I'm also unsure of the area's boundary.

secondary stub, should probably be tertiary to match all around it?

Hoisington completed a big project to improve the pool in 2022/2023, but I'm not in the area frequent enough to map it from memory. As of 2023-05-29 the available satellite imagery still shows the old pool.

The area near the shelter looks like it was renovated recently. Esri World Imagery shows two new buildings, and parked cars. A survey is needed to verify what the new buildings are, and if parking near the shelter is allowed, since parking was not allowed near the shelter before.

The Strava heat map shows a network of unmapped trails at this location. Here's a link to an official map that shows some of these trails: https://gorctrails.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/matson_0.pdf

69Express is almost open; imagery is too out of date right now to capture most of it. Will affect 69 from 103rd down to 151st.

A new State Park Visitors Center recently opened here. It's too new to be on any imagery yet. www2.ljworld.com/news/general-news/2026/feb/27/clinton-state-parks-visitor-center-opens-its-doors-park-to-begin-raising-money-for-new-playground/

Is this ramp open?

I can't figure out the correct way to edit this, but there is a mistake in the Flint Hills Trail here. The trail does not follow the old rail alignment between 5th and 6th Street. The correct trail (going south along 5th St) is already on the map, but the green state park outline does not fully follow it.

There is also a separate designated route for horses along Withrow St from 4th St to Auburn Rd, vs. the paved path through town for bikes and hikers.
