Last updated on: Thursday, August 6, 2020 PEA CREEK TRAIL CLOSED
The Pea Creek Trail (trailhead located at the Cole Mill access) is closed until further notice. Due to recent storms, erosion has undercut steps, put deep holes into the trail, and significantly damaged the trail. Do Not Enter From Any Access.
