I know there were some messages awhile back about possible trail closures at the subaru explore park... does anybody know the current status of these trails? i was thinking about trying to ride there sometime soon. anybody who's ridden there lately, or is up to date on whats going on, please let me know.

Roanoke County has major plans for some type of family resort destination there. The developers involved keep getting extensions on just the announcement of their intention to develop it or not (sweet deal for them). I am thinking the last extension gives them until November to a make an announcement. The county I think was requiring at least a $20 million dollar investment on their part. Typical Roanoke back room politics IMO.
The park is shut down now, but the trails remain open. I think trail maintenance was just turned over to volunteers - probably VAST, but I haven't heard that for sure. Last time I was there they were in good shape.
Best case if the park is developed is that they will consider the trails an asset and keep them open to the public. Well, you can figure out what the worst case is - condo city over top of the trails. Enjoy them now.
Ditto. Rode there on the 4th of July. Maps in tube at beginner's trailhead.
