Public access to parts of the popular BX Creek Trail have been closed for safety reasons.

“Heavy rains and snowmelt have led to BX Creek swelling past its banks and onto the BX Creek Trail,” a news release from Ashley Gregerson, communications officer for the Regional District of North Okanagan stated. “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

“We urge everyone to obey the trail closures,” said Gregerson. “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 its website at www.rdno.ca and Facebook page at www.facebook.com/RDNorthOkanagan.
