Gerlach Trail Community Survey

Thank you for your interest in the Gerlach Trail. The Gerlach Trail Initiative is a collaboration of multiple partner organizations seeking to develop a multi-use trail from the community of Gerlach across the playa to county route 34. Depending on the chosen route, this interpretive trail is expected to connect Gerlach, the Washoe ArTrail, the planned Burning Man art park, and Guru Road.

We are seeking community input on key initial aspects of the trail, capitalizing on local knowledge, and creative thinking. As the project progresses, there will be further opportunities for community input. Please let us know if you want to be included in future opportunities for input and future community meetings by sending an email to gerlachtrail@washoecounty.gov. You can also visit our website for the latest project updates.

This survey will remain open through Sunday, February 5
