The final section of the Jackson River Scenic Trail was supposed to be opened in spring 2023, but environmental and construction delays postponed the projected opening to spring 2024. Then a "high water event" in January 2024 caused part of the almost-finished trail to collapse.
 |
| Unexpected drainage from below the trail eroded the base and caused a 500-ft section to sluff off. |
 |
| Stabilization materials had shifted down the slope. |
This trail section had to be re-engineered, completely removed, then rebuilt. It finally opened in November 2024.
 |
| The rebuilt section has new drainage structures and wall stabilization. |
 |
| From the other end. |
 |
| There's still a bit of silt entering the water after significant rain. |
 |
| A nice set of rapids on Cedar Creek. |
