The forest around Timpson Creek Road was badly damaged in a tornado on April 27, 2011 and remains closed until the District Ranger completes his assessment to determine whether the road can be safely cleared. He is also considering the potential impacts associated with a project of this magnitude. If it appears this road should remain closed permanently, the District Ranger will notify the public and invite everyone who is interested to comment on the proposal.
The Scull Shoals Trail is closed indefinitely until it can be relocated to a more stable and safe location. The historic mill village site and other trails, such as the Boarding House Trail, remain open to the public.
