An inspection last winter determined that there were major structural issues compromising the safety of the bridge along the trail

VANCOUVER – The trail to the lower falls in Lacamas Regional Park has reopened after being closed since the beginning of the year. 

An inspection last winter determined that there were major structural issues compromising the safety of the bridge along the trail. The bridge and trail were closed while parks staff applied for the environmental permits required for work near a stream in a forested area. The old bridge was demolished and removed, and a new bridge constructed in its place. The replacement bridge was constructed using weather-resistant materials to promote long-term durability and stability. This replacement enhances safety and restores a critical trail connection for park visitors.
