As another round of logging activity takes places in the Bent Creek area, more trails and roads will be closed. Fortunately, most of the activity takes place to the North of the favorite riding areas.

Rice Pinnacle Road and North Boundary Road will be closed during the week until 5:30 PM each day. This closure is expected to last 5 - 8 weeks. The road will be open on weekends and holidays, but watch out for construction equipment and rough spots. Work will be to “daylight” the road (clear overhanging trees), re-grading and dropping gravel. While the road is closed, the only access to the upper end of the Green’s Lick trail will be out-and-back via the same path.

Be sure to check out the notices posted at trailhead kiosks in Bent Creek as well.

Construction on the new bridge over the Davidson River at the Daniel Ridge trailhead is complete, and the Forest Service has officially re-opened the trail. This is a great loop, or addition to other loops in the area, so go give it a try!

There is a dredging project in the Hendersonville Reservoir to remove tons of sediment that have built up in the small lake over the years. During this project, lower portions of the Fletcher Creek Trail may be closed. Get more information on the Forest Service’s official web site.
