2-11-25- Olympic Adventure Trail – logging & reconstruction

~ OAT mp 17.5? Warnings posted at each end stating that trail is under construction and to exercise caution.

Notice from Washington State DNR that closure of the Olympic Adventure Trail near Whiskey creek for harvest has been cleared. Please be careful in the section. Harvest procedures change the terrain. The trail in the area will be undergoing reconstruction for a while.

Logging on the Olympic Adventure Trail – Partial Closure ~ 11/27/24

There will be an upcoming closure to the Adventure Trail just east of the new Whiskey Creek bridge for timber harvest activities. The closure should be short in duration and there will not be an option for a detour. The grey area on the attached map shows where the unit crosses the Adventure Trail. We are planning to post signage at the intersection with the 1200 road and at Joyce Piedmont road. We anticipate work to begin at the earliest in 15 days.

No possible route around So folks will have to divert on Joyce Access and Joyce Piedmont. The gate at the Joyce end of Joyce Piedmont be closed.

5/7/24 – UPDATE-OPEN-Olympic Adventure Trail – Whiskey Creek Bridge is open

Trail is back open and will install hand rails by 5/8/24

Work on the Adventure Trail bridge near mile 14.7 has been slower than anticipated. The detour will be necessary until at least 7 May.

Good morning all. Just got word that Whiskey Creek bridge has collapsed. They blocked off the ends with cones and some wood. I’ll go out in the morning and make sure the detour signs and more cones are out. All users will now have to use the horse crossing.
