Current Trail CLOSURES

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!
