Sections of BX Creek Trail Closed due to Flooding

Type
Media Release

Update, June 15, 9:30 AM - we have also closed the section between 6205 BC-97 (south of Vernon Volkswagen) and 4700 20th Street (behind Rona). All of the sections mentioned yesterday remain closed as well.

Original, June 14, 2 PM - Heavy rains and snowmelt have led to BX Creek swelling past its banks and onto the BX Creek Trail. The water is high and fast-moving, so the RDNO has temporarily closed multiple sections.

The closed sections include:

  • Tillicum Road to Star Road
  • Deleenheer Road to 50th Avenue
  • Trail access point at the east end of the BX Ranch Dog Park

View a map of the closures.

We urge everyone to obey the trail closures. Failure to do so may lead to harm or danger to anyone who enters the closed areas. The western portion of the BX Ranch Dog Park remains open. Barricades are in place, indicating the closed section of the park.

The RDNO will post updates to our website at www.rdno.ca and Facebook page at www.facebook.com/RDNorthOkanagan.
