Mortimer Trails Project Update: June 2021
Big things are happening in the Grandfather District of Pisgah National Forest! The dirt is really flying around, and we want to provide some updates on the Mortimer Trails Project.
USFS: Trails in the Mortimer Area of Wilson Creek improved through partnerships
The public should use caution in the area and avoid active work zones.
Headwaters Hub Now Open at Warrior Creek
On March 13 over thirty volunteers polished out new trails at the Warrior Creek “Headwaters” area at Kerr Scott.
Public comment period open for the Old Fort Trails Project – Trails For All
Please help advocate for these additions by commenting during the 30 day window, which opened February 24, 2021. Comments will help guide managers as they move into environmental review of the proposed trails, with a potential final decision on the trail plans this fall.
