Upper Section of BX Falls Trail closed

Part of a popular trail in the Vernon area has been closed due to water issues.

The Regional District of North Okanagan said the lower section of the BX Falls Trail, for about 1 kilometre upstream of the intake dam off Star Road, is closed due to water flowing down the pathway.

“High water levels and a blockage in the creek led to BX Creek flowing down the walking path,” said a RDNO news release.

“Adjacent to the trail is private property. People should not trespass on private property to avoid the water, and since the public trail isn’t accessible, they should not enter this section of the trail at all,” said Mike Fox, General Manager of Community Services.
