It is the product of nearly a decade of collaboration between local government, non-profits, community members, and federal agencies. As the first purpose-built trail network in all ofSan Juan County, it represents a concerted effort to create sustainable and accessible community-oriented recreational infrastructure that will leave a lasting legacy for generations to come. Ground was broken in July of2023 and in Fall of 2024, the first 7-mile peginer/ntermediate trail loop opened to the public. With this milestone achieved and proof of concept demonstrated, focus has shifted to future planning and securing funds to bring the rest of Baker's Park to life. In the short term this entails construction of another 10.7 miles oft trail over the next three years, and in the mid-term, completion ofthe full trail system.

In San Juan County, several Brownfields projects are underway; these efforts are separate from the Bonita Peak Mining District Superfund Site (BPMD) activities. One key Brownfields projects is the Lackawanna Mill Site, which sits outside the BPMD site boundary but overlooks the Town of Silverton. A conceptual design was produced to reflect community feedback and ideas, including future uses such as a recreation hub, event space, and public gathering area. Assessment of the mill site was completed in January of 2025 through an EPA Brownfields grant awarded to the Town of Silverton. A structural analysis of the mill building is planned for summer of 2025. The results will help guide cleanup strategies and determine how the site may be reused in the future.
