Catawba Falls Footbridge Construction Begins May 3

Construction is set to begin on Tuesday, May 3, 2016 for the footbridge across the Catawba River on the Catawba Falls Trail. The Catawba Falls Trail is a popular hiking trail near Old Fort, NC on the Grandfather Ranger District of Pisgah National Forest.

The Catawba Falls Trail will remain open, but the public can expect to see construction traffic in the area. The US Forest Service asks that visitors stay on established trails and steer clear of the construction area.

The Catawba Falls Trail Bridge project is part of a larger effort to provide safe access to Catawba Falls. For more information contact the Grandfather Ranger District at 828-652-2144.

    Thank goodness. I hope this is the start for a handful of improvements needed to enhance this area for hiking and to enjoy more of this interesting back country area.
