Sandy Trail is closed for the foreseeable future due to extensive damage from flooding and unsafe conditions for trail users.
During October and November 2021, there will be intermittent delays and possible temporary closures that may affect Big Rock Trail and Corn Mill Shoals Trail out of the Corn Mill Shoals access area in DuPont State Recreational Forest. Due to equipment in the narrow trail bed and in the interest of public safety, movement through this area may be delayed or prohibited. Visitors are encouraged to adjust plans and routes for this section of the forest and expect the possibility of closures or delays. Pay attention to any signage or barricades in the trail and at the parking lot kiosks. Trail closure updates are available at www.dupontstaterecreationalforest.com
