Marsh Boardwalk Update:
The Department of Recreation and Parks recently closed the boardwalk at Jug Bay out of an abundance of concern for the safety of park visitors. We understand that this is a disappointment to many who enjoy walking along the wetlands. The boardwalk is being evaluated by a structural engineer. The report is expected to be completed in July and will provide the recommended repairs. At that time, The Department will be able to give a time frame for reopening the boardwalk. The Department is just as eager as everyone else to have this section of the park reopened. Thank you for your patience.
