The Baden Powell Trail between Deep Cove and Quarry Rock will remain closed because of damage to the trail.
Bridge and stair structures along the trail were significantly damaged during extreme winter storms in November of 2021. Some of these structures are on Provincial land and under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resources, said DNV.
Working with these project partners takes time as there are certain process and approval requirements that need to be fulfilled for the work to be completed, said the District of North Vancouver.
“We are working closely with the Province and Recreation Sites and Trails BC to coordinate repairs. For safety’s sake, the Quarry Rock section of the Baden Powell Trail will remain closed until repairs are complete – likely through the summer season.”
Park Rangers are on-site reminding people about the trail closure and signs and fencing are also placed at the trailhead.
It’s pretty clear there’s that no one in local Goverment wants this fixed in a timely manner.
Automatically fixes the huge parking problem in Deep Cove for another summer. You can easily access Quarry rock from ParkGate or one of the access roads along the waterfront. Unless they decided to stop all access.
