Current Closures to Trails At "The Preserve"

---

Occasionally, trails may be flooded due to the location of "The Preserve" on a flood plain, resulting in seasonal damage to the soft trails or full closures while trail is under water. Additionally, trails, boardwalks, or bridges may be closed due to needed repairs, fallen trees, tree maintenance, or other restorative habitat activities such as invasive species removal. All long-term closures will be posted on the Coffee Creek website, social media platforms, and clearly marked on the trail heads. 

Creek Overlook Boardwalk and Bridge 4 CLOSED Until Further Notice

---

November 2020
Due to the aging condition of the wooden boardwalk that runs along Coffee Creek (Creek Overlook), the Staff and CCWC Board Of Directors have CLOSED the wooden boardwalk and Bridge 4 until sustainable repairs can be made. Due to the magnitude of the project, the boardwalk and Bridge will remain CLOSED until further notice. 
Unauthorized entry into these closed areas is trespassing. 

UPDATE: December, 2020
Preliminary work has begun on addressing the infrastructural needs of the wooden boardwalks. As detailed information becomes available, check back on social media and our website for up-to-date information! 

**Would you like to contribute, financially, to the renovation of the Coffee Creek Watershed Preserve's boardwalks? Do you have specialized skills you would like to offer to the Non-Profit, Coffee Creek Watershed Conservancy? Fill out the form below to reach out to our team and Board of Directors!

UPDATE: March 10, 2021
An outside engineering and design firm is working with the Board of Directors and CCWC Staff to assess overall trail issues, and specifically, the Creek Overlook Boardwalk failures. An overall design plan (to include wooden boardwalk replacements, bridge assessments, long-term trail repairs, and overall guest experience to The Preserve, among other priorities) is being created at this time. 

This design plan will allow the BOD and Staff to prioritize projects and  target outside funding (donations and/or grant dollars) for these large scale, and expensive projects.
