Termination of R2R Trail closure between Bassett and Karbers Ridge Roads
As President of the River to River Trail Society I received notification from the Forest Service that they rescinded the June 2019 trail closure on December 3, 2019. Upon receiving the notification that the closure was lifted, I inquired if the Forest Service assured the trail was navigable, passable and had adequate trail assurance markers (Blue I’s) after the logging was completed and they said they hadn’t. As a result, the Society would like to formally thank Society Member Fred Scott for taking a hike this past week to check and verify the section of trail and make sure no additional trail signs needed to be installed.
In making the hike Fred found a section of rock retaining wall near the trail and took the following photo of it.
For more information on this closure, please find details in the Societies June 5th 2019 announcement and post. http://www.rivertorivertrail.net/2019/06/

My recommendations would be for the sections from High Knob west to Lusk Creek but I don’t know how far you hike in a day. Check out the guide book because I have tried to highlight everything along the trail in that guide.

Some friends and I would like to do the trail in sections. Do you have info as to what are good sections for hikers to hike on a long 3 day weekend?
