Portion of Chester Park Trail Closed Due to Washout

 

[Duluth, MN] - The City of Duluth Parks and Recreation is notifying the public of a trail closure in Chester Park. Due to the recent heavy rainfall, a segment of the hiking trail in Chester Park located on the east side of the creek, between Skyline Parkway and the 8th Street bridge, has washed out. Trail closure signs are in place leading up to and around the impacted area along with orange fencing. 

 

The repair time frame is not known at this time until further assessment is completed. The City requests that the public avoid this area and instead, use the trail on the west side of Chester Creek. The pedestrian bridge near 8th Street is open for trail users to safely cross the creek to the west side.
