The 1.3 mile Susie Stephens Trail weaves throughout the community, from river banks and recreational areas through downtown Winthrop. This phase of the multi-use trail connects with the town’s southern commercial zone, incorporating several pedestrian street crossings, including at SR 20; alignment along the Foghorn Water Ditch; and access to the Winthrop Ice Rink.

SCJ engineers and landscape architects worked with the Town to protect sensitive wetland and shoreline areas and preserve mature trees along the trail alignment. A trailhead parking area with stormwater treatment was also designed.

The trail provides a safe, non-motorized route between downtown Winthrop, the ice rink, and the homes and businesses on the south end of town. SCJ also designed the trailhead parking, complete with a rain garden.
