Trailhead and boardwalk projects damaged by floods; county seeks project proposals
Summary
County told NRDP the Norard/Nord trailhead parking and access work is nearly roughed in but still needs finishing, and the Ross Creek Cedars boardwalk and trail — rebuilt at about $1.3 million — were buried in mud and sediment during the flood.
Officials provided updates on recreation projects: the Norard (Nord) trailhead has access improvements and a roughed‑in parking area; work remains to finish the route and install fencing so the trail can open. The county said they expect to complete remaining tasks this summer and that easement paperwork through state lands appears to be in place.
In a more serious impact, county staff reported that the recently rebuilt Ross Creek Cedars trail and boardwalk, which they said cost roughly $1.3 million to restore, were quickly buried in mud after the flood and that excavated sections have repeatedly refilled when crews attempt to clear them. Officials said project teams will reevaluate designs and consider armoring or alignment changes as part of recovery proposals.
