Compeau Trail

Built in the Chena River Recreation area in 2006, the Compeau Trail was designed, laid out and built according to the best modern standards for sustainability. Starting at 30 mile Chena Hot Springs Road, the Compeau winds 18 miles to the Colorado Creek Cabin. This trail offers fabulous opportunities for ATV riders, mountain bikers, hunters, equestrians and hikers.

Happy Trails Inc. was delighted to construct the Compeau Trail. Jon has already snatched the opportunity to make an overnight mountain bike ride with his best friend, in the summer of 2007.

Following the terrain, the Compeau integrates water/erosion control, sustainable grades and alignment, and durable tread with the beauty of a line that flows with natural contours.

The Compeau Trail was conceived with ATV users in mind. Design specifications mandated an 8 foot tread width, the widest trail Happy Trails has ever built.
