Temporary Trail Closures at Montour Preserve

NOTICE: MONTOUR PRESERVE TRAIL AND PAVILION CLOSURES TO BEGIN WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 17

The Montour Area Recreation Commission (MARC) on Wednesday, August 17, will post temporary closures of portions of several trails and one pavilion at the Montour Preserve.

These temporary closures are being made to protect visitor safety while Talen Energy and its subsidiaries continue the construction of a new natural gas pipeline to supply the Montour Steam Electric Station.  Closures are expected to last several weeks and will be lifted when conditions are safe to again allow use.

These closures will affect the following locations:

  • Goose Woods Trail (partial)
  • Wildlife Management Trail (partial)
  • Chilisuagi Trail (between the Goose Cove Picnic Area and the Ridgefield Point Loop Trail)
  • Goose Cove #2 Pavilion

A map of the affected locations can be found at the top of this page.

MARC asks that visitors respect trail closures where posted to protect the safety of the public, MARC’s staff, and construction staff.

For questions or more information, please contact Bob Stoudt, MARC Director, at (570) 336-2060 or RStoudt@MontourRec.com.
