The area is a pack-out what you pack-in, i.e. The 96th St entrance has water and vault toilets. The Walnut Creek Lake and Recreation Area has the most amenities of any THOR trail: the 96th St cement path connecting to the West Papio Trail and Papillion a lake with ADA accessible pier for fishing equestrian trails an RV campground picnic and playground and an off-leash, fenced-in dog area. We switchback up a false flat before returning down a swerving false flat that will become faster with age to a logover and optional lines before dumping out on the doubletrack for the return back around the toe of the dam into Whiplash and some trials-like skills needed to get through some of the final, tight, trail corridor.Ĭurrent length is 2.4 miles. The ‘turtle’ ttf is like a limbo skill challenge on your bike. The doubletrack is picked up again to the northwest section call ‘the Outback’. Whiplash whips you back and forth and around the west side of the drainage with optional logovers before dumping out on doubletrack at the bottom of the dam.įollow the doubletrack to the west side of the dam creek into a section called ‘Superbowl’, which has a bowl shape and several ttfs before the trail rides over the gravel Turkey Road which the dam flooded.
The return is along side the cement where you cross the entrance to Titan Twist and take a sharp right into the section called ‘Whiplash’. Then loop on the east (right) side of the drainage called Titan Twist with associated steep drop onto a log ride, steep up and switchback drop back down along the drainage with tight turns and some log overs. Starting from the cement path, the south section called Monarch Pass is a single clockwise loop that crosses a drainage twice before bringing you back to cross the cement. In the northeast, the trail is divided in two sections, south and north, by the cement path. THOR concentrated on the two areas north of the dam with plans to connect via singletrack the east entrance to the northeast area in the Fall/Winter 2014. The City of Papillion was supportive of the initiative and selected three of the areas for THOR to develop: one north/northeast of the dam, one northwest of the dam, and one off the east entrance on 96th St. We surveyed the land around the lake and found several areas of potential. Jeff Schram approached THOR in the Fall 2013 about putting in a trail at Walnut Creek. The trail had its grand opening Jwith a write up in the Papillion Times recorded here.
