BROWNSTONE TRAIL PARTIAL CLOSURE: UPDATED 8/2/2019
Slumping and erosion has occurred on the Brownstone Trail in Bayfield and the trail is completely gone in one area, leaving deep and gaping hole. To help keep people safe and prevent additional damage, Landmark Conservancy has closed this section of the trail and asks residents and visitors to use the reroute along Highway 13. Landmark is working with a coastal engineering firm to understand the underlying causes of the slumping and to identify options for restoration and protection of the nearby shoreline.
