HELENA UPDATE
- 10.2.24 -
In the wake of Tropical Storm Helena, our beloved trail has faced significant challenges. An unfathomable number of trees have fallen along the 13.5-mile stretch from mile 0 to 4.5, making this section impassable. Many in our community are still without power, and countless individuals are working tirelessly to restore essential services.
During this time, we encourage everyone to use the trail south of Highway 64 as you begin to return to your normal activities. ⚠️However, for your safety, avoid the north end of the trail (miles 0-4.5) until further notice.⚠️
Let’s all stay safe, exercise caution, and bring our best patience as we navigate through these unprecedented challenges together. Thank you for your understanding!
❤️ Stay strong, everyone!
