A Bridge For Max

In January 2021, Max Lenail, a pre-med student at Brown University, went on a hike at Mission Trails Regional Park in San Diego County. Max was a on a popular hike in the Fortuna Peaks area, and just a few minutes away from the Visitor Center Loop. Sadly, Max drowned while hiking on a dangerous part of the trail, crossing the San Diego River. A Bridge is Critical for Hiker Safety Unfortunately, that trail does not have a pedestrian bridge to cross the river, creating a treacherous hazard. The strong current of the river combined with slippery, mossy rocks makes for extremely dangerous conditions, especially during winter weather, for hikers of all levels. Max was an experienced outdoorsman and high-performance athlete. If this happened to him, it could really happen to anyone. The Mission Trails Regional Park Master Plan has long planned for the creation of a pedestrian bridge across the San Diego River, where Max tragically drowned. There is no time for delay, and this unfortunate tragedy is a stark reminder that this dangerous crossing must be immediately addressed.

The Max Lenail Memorial Bridge Fund The Lenail Family and the community are now working to have a bridge built in Max’s memory at the river crossing as soon as possible to prevent future tragedies. Today, conversations have begun with Mission Trails Regional Park stakeholders and the City of San Diego, to collectively explore solutions and all angles for the creation of the pedestrian bridge. The family is also working with engineering firms to further understand the planning, design and costs associated with the creation of this bridge. The Lenail Family plans to contribute and raise significant funds to support and expedite construction of this bridge in Max’s honor to save lives of future park visitors.
