Closures Due to Weather

Water saturated trails become muddy and sometimes impassable. On those occasions, the trails are closed until they dry out. If left open, hikers and runners often go around the puddles, which widens the trails. This also leads to erosion and trail damage. For the safety of our patrons and as good stewards of these trails, we must close some trails when they are wet.
