Breakneck Connector
The Breakneck Connector replaces a stretch of trail that once required walking along active rail tracks. Crews are completing shoreline stabilization and a new elevated walkway beneath the ridge. Until it opens, hikers should use the existing Breakneck Ridge trailhead access rather than the rail corridor.
Breakneck Connector closed for shoreline work
Crews are completing shoreline stabilization near the future elevated walkway. Use the Upper Overlook / Breakneck Ridge Trailhead for ridge access instead.
