NPS originally planned to rehabilitate the remaining portions of the loop and replace the boardwalk and overlook in 2024. However, unforeseen site conditions, the sensitivity of the location for wetlands and other resources, and trail erosion makes the original plan impossible to accomplish.
A redesign of the project would be costly and impact more wetland areas. As a result, NPS is proposing to remove the overlook and board walks, reinstall stone walls that had been opened and prepare and seed areas to reestablish natural conditions.
Because this is different than our original intent, NPS is opening the proposal up for a 30-day public comment period. Please click on the "Open Document" link for more information.
