That portion that went from Portland, along and behind Shawnee Golf Course over to Shawnee Park has been shut down for years now (I'm sure the golfers are happy about getting rid of the rabble on their bikes). I guess the city just didn't want to pay to keep the paved trail cleaned anymore. It was such a nice section too.
