Crickum Crankum

Is it officially open now after the gaping maw (chasm of death?) incident or not?

I searched the forums and couldn't find anything so forgive me for being way out of touch...

Naw, not official (I don't think?)

But there IS a bridge over troubled waters and the trail is in great shape...

Still officially closed, according to the District

Use at your own risk.

No word on Kirkford though, so I guess its good to go!

its easy to come out of Crickum Crankum at the 3rd
just start with the easy ride around route at the top of Kirkford and keep right

Rode it this afternoon and saw no signage indicating it was closed.

What's the delay in officially re-opening it? There's a sturdy bridge across the chasm.

The district wants to go in and build a larger bridge and do some work to hopefully prevent further erosion.

You could always ask them...

scroll down to parks and environment.

I couldn't find anything on the DNV website about the closure. There was a thread here on nsmb.com that was deleted when the current bridge was put in last year.

In typical DNV fashion, I think they expect that if you delay and prolong the process of actually fixing a problem,it will go away on it's own.
