Island Hiking Trail Closed Off for Repair Work

MONDAY, 23 APRIL 2007

The Mackworth Island Hiking Trail, which has been damaged by the recent storm that hit Greater Portland, has been closed off for repair work.

The storm has left safety hazards for hikers. Some huge pine and spruce trees have also been uprooted, blocking the trail in some areas. Washouts have also occurred on the causeway connecting Mackworth to Falmouth, restricting access to the Island.

The causeway will be rebuilt first before cleaning up the island. One of the most popular trails in Greater Portland, the trail will be re-opened at the soonest possible time according to Will Harris, Director of the Bureau of Parks and Lands.
