Beginning in mid-February the entire bridle trail system at Morrow Mountain State Park will be closed for the renovation of 1.8 miles of trail. The trails will be closed to all users during construction and for a period of time after construction for the new trail to compact and harden naturally. The renovated sections of trail will be 0.8 miles longer than the original section. PLEASE CHECK THIS SITE REGULARLY FOR UPDATES ON THE CLOSURE SCHEDULE.
At the completion of this renovation project Morrow Mountain State Park will be implementing an Inclement Weather Closure Policy on the bridle trail system. Upon the implementation of this policy when the trail surface of the bridle trail is wet enough that normal use would damage the trail surface, park staff will close the bridle trail system until normal use will not cause damage. The opening and closing of the trail will be determined by a physical inspection by park staff. Trail status will be posted on this website and within Morrow Mountain State Park.
