The Foster and Marsh Island Loop trail is currently closed for construction. Fencing and locked gates are in place at the east end, though western access points were found open, leading to visitor confusion as of October 4. Construction is scheduled to continue through early 2027.
Even with the trail closure, visitors can still access Foster Island and enjoy views of the water, wetlands, and the 520 Bridge. This offers a short but beautiful escape from the city, as noted on August 17.
