Trail Closure Announcement + Reminder

ANNOUNCEMENT -- Trail 7 to Closure to Start 08/04

Trail 7 at East Branch Community Trails, Keene, NY will close to all traffic on Tuesday 08/04 and remain closed until further notice.

Upcoming construction on the Trail 8 traverse will make Trail 7 extremely unsafe to ride or hike, as debris from construction could easily roll into Trail 7. Trail 7 will be closed to all traffic -- riders, runners, hikers -- on 08/04 and remain closed until further notice to avoid injuries to trail users.

The Trail 7 closure is expected to last 3+ weeks; please stay tuned for exact reopening date.


REMINDER -- Trail 8 Not Yet Open

Lately we've learned that some riders are ignoring trail closure signage for Trail 8, which is currently under construction. Riding trails that are under construction can be dangerous for the rider and disruptive to the builder. Riding trails that are under construction can also extend the time needed to finish construction. All parts of Trail 8 are closed now and will remain closed until the trail is completed.

Thank you for your help! We are really excited for what's to come at East Branch and hope you are, too.
