Update Jan 24, 2025:
Great news! Through the hard work of hundreds of volunteers putting in thousands of hours of work, we have now re-opened another section of the Foothills Trail. It is now open from Laurel Valley to Table Rock State Park. The closure signs have now been removed from that area.

That is in addition to the section from Oconee SP to Bad Creek access that has been open since late October.

The section from Laurel Valley to Bad Creek Access spur is still CLOSED until Duke gives us the all-clear.

YOUR CONTINUED HELP NEEDED! We are continuing to make heavy use of trail maintenance equipment and supplies, as we work to complete reopening the trail and restoring damaged sections. These include saw repairs, extra bars, chains, bar oil, etc. Your contributions to continue funding this effort are greatly appreciated!
