ODF staff are busy assessing damage from the Valentine's Day weekend snow and ice storms. Forest roads, recreation trails and recreation facilities sustained the various levels of damage due significant snow pack, heavy ice accumulation and the resulting falling limbs and down trees.
Folks planning a forest visit should use extreme caution and are encouraged to consider postponing a few weeks until there is more snow melt and further assessments have been made.
Here are some closure notices:
- Bridge Creek Falls Trail is closed until further notice due to damage caused by the Valentine's Day weekend storm.
- Wilson River Trail is closed west of Foot Bridge Trailhead until further notice due to significant damage to the trail tread and multiple down trees. The closure extends all the way to the end of the Wilson River Trail at Keenig Creek Trailhead.
These pictures are a sample of the kinds of damage to the Wilson River Trail trail.
The map below the pictures shows the closure area.
Please respect this public safety closure.
