Path Advisory: Temporary Detour on Deadmans Bay Path
May 12, 2025
There was an unexpected event on the Deadmans Bay Path some time in April. A large boulder broke free from the cliffs above the trail and landed in the path, bringing other rocks and trees with it.
The boulder temporarily blocked the trail approximately 1.0 km from the trailhead at Blackhead Village.
