Trails Update!

The recent storms have damaged a number of trails. While the town and volunteers have worked diligently at clearing most of the damage, some trails still have fallen trees and debris.

Alexanders Ford is closed due to storm damage causing numerous blockades from fallen trees.

Woodland Park has a large tree ball blocking the orange route. Smaller downed trees and brush remain on other parts of the trail system.

ICC and Tom Raymond have trees down and some brush still remaining.

Tryon Missing 40 has a number of downed trees blocking the trail. Hike with caution. Some areas may not be safe to pass currently.

If you have noticed any damage on our trails, please contact us at Trails@polknc.org so we can clear it up!
