Reedy Creek construction crews are making progress

Construction is underway at the Reedy Creek Stream Restoration project. Construction crews have completed 2,000 feet of new stream channel. The new stream channel has lots of areas for fish and bugs to live. Landscape crews are currently planting trees. Construction will continue for another year. Please continue to stay off the closed trails for your safety and check the website for updates.

 

Construction is set to begin on November 1st

North State Environmental construction crews are gearing up to start construction on the Reedy Creek Stream Restoration Project. On November 1st, crews will arrive on site, accessing the park off Plaza Road Extension, and begin clearing the path for the new stream channel. You may see parked construction equipment sooner. Expect construction to last for a year and a half. Sierra Loop, Robinson Rockhouse, and South Fork trails will be closed during construction.
