PORT ANGELES — A slide across a section of the Waterfront Trail about 100 yards west of Francis Street Park has prompted the trail’s closure in that area.
“While there is not a huge amount of debris blocking the trail, there is a group of unstable trees that could possibly fall onto the trail,” Teresa Pierce, spokeswoman for the city of Port Angeles, said in an email Tuesday.
Access to the trail remains open at Francis Street Park and at Morse Creek.
Cyclists and pedestrians can detour around the slide area via Francis Street and Front Street.
The trail is closed in this area until repairs are made.
The Waterfront Trail is a 6.5-mile section of trail that extends from Ediz Hook to just west of the old Rayonier mill site before connecting to the Olympic Discovery Trail at Morse Creek.
