Path Advisory:
We are pleased to announce that the La Manche Village Path has re-opened now that the replacement of the stairs ascending from the north side of the Suspension Bridge has been completed. Thank you for your patience as our Trai Crew completed the necessary work in this area. Work will continue in the area over the next day or so to finish up some cosmetic touches. Fencing will be removed from the north side (accessed by Tors Cove) by the end of the day July 13.
No path clearing or conditions updates take place during winter months. Map recommended. Trail-rated footwear required.
