Eel River Trail

The City of Rio Dell is overseeing the Eel River Trail Accessible Ramp project, identified by WCB Project Tracker ID 2025005. The project involves the construction of an ADA-compliant concrete switchback ramp at the north trailhead of a recently completed pedestrian and bicycle shared-use path along the Eel River. Located in Humboldt County between Edwards Drive and Davis Street, the primary objective of the construction is to ensure equal access to the trail for all users. The project received approval from the Wildlife Conservation Board on August 28, 2025, and was formally signed off by the Deputy Executive Director on August 29, 2025. Environmental compliance was addressed through a Negative Declaration under CEQA, which determined that no significant environmental effects were found and no mitigation measures were required. The project is categorized under NAICS code 237310, with Kyle Knopp, City Manager, serving as the primary point of contact.
