Well that really screws with making a loop on the west end of Mclean Creek.

Effective October 26, 2018, a Permanent Trail Closure has been issued in the McLean Creek Public Land Use Zone (PLUZ) for the Silvester Creek Trail due to a trail reclamation project.

There is a phone number at the bottom of the page.
Everyone here should be phoning the number asking why is this closed and where will a new trail be put in to complete a loop.

So the sediment was caused by the logging company that put in a road. So instead of stopping the logging they just close the whole thing. Can someone link a map with the mile markers? I have a rough idea which trails are affected as well.

Oh and I remember this from the fall, except it was called a temporary reclamation closure. And how do they figure there’s fish in that little creek?

This is why everyone should phone the number and ask all the questions. Ask when a new trail will be put in etc.  Everyone phone in please. If its a none issue the trail never gets opened up.
