Nelson, BC: The Regional District of Central Kootenay (RDCK) has temporarily closed a portion of the Rosebery to Three Forks Regional Trail (Galena Trail) in Electoral Area H effective April 22, 2025. This closure is due to a significant slough of the riverbank that has affected the integrity of the existing bridge structure between the cable car crossing and the Three Forks trail head.
It was determined that continued use of this portion of the trail could pose safety risks to trail users as the slough impacted the use of the bridge. The Trail remains open from Rosebery to the cable car and the cable car will remain closed until the bridge installation is completed to ensure the safety of all trail users.
The RDCK is in the process of working on a plan to replace the bridge, prior to it being affected by the slough, and expects to reopen the trail by the beginning of June. Please respect all trail closure areas, signage and barriers.
