Cypresswood Temporary Access Restriction
NOTE FROM P4 PARKS – ACCESS TO TRAILS CLOSED AT COLLINS MON (5/21)-WED (5/23). PLEASE PARK AT TC JESTER OR STRACK RD DURING THIS TIME.
Enterprise Pipeline will be working on pipeline maintenance on the line that runs across Cypress Creek behind Collins Park from 7:00am to 5-5:30pm on Monday, May 21 through Wednesday, May 23 and Thursday if needed. They will have some equipment and trucks in the parking lot by the girl’s softball complex and the road that accesses the creek. The entrance from the park to the creek will be barricaded for safety and the hike and bike trail will be closed.
If you’re interested in volunteering for work parties and other improvements at Cypresswood, contact the trail steward via this link.
Double Lake Re-Opening
Jim Mackey and Kevin Highfield have been working with various Forest Service personnel over the last week and they report that the Forest Service has got all the “danger trees” (that’s the ones that are leaning) marked and several crews going into the entire DL system to get the trees removed. As of today (5/21), we are hopeful that the entire system will be re-opened in a couple of weeks – which is really good news and a whole lot better than we’ve been thinking up until recently. More updates will follow.
Huntsville Expansion
The current situation with the other trails in the forest being closed has diverted the attention of Forest Service personnel, but we still hope to get the approvals done over the summer so we can start building in late Fall. Once we get Double Lake re-opened, Kevin will be getting the approval stuff rolling in earnest.
