PLEASE USE THIS FORM TO REPORT TRAIL CLOSURES
Trail maintenance issues are the responsibility of the local Trail Steward, which is either the trail owner or a group given authorization to perform maintenance work. Our recommendation is to always make these reports directly to the local Trail Steward/Trail Group when possible. In addition to contacting the local Trail Steward/Trail Group, we are happy to post the information on our website to warn other trail users.
Please send us:
- Information about the closures or obstacles along the trail - especially ones that are safety concerns or block users from passing through.
- Information such as a precise location (GPS waypoint), photos, etc.
- Your contact information.
This information will ensure that the appropriate agencies will be informed, and that if further information is required, we are able to follow up.
