Benson Bridge Reopens

The historic Benson Bridge, located between upper and lower Multnomah Falls, reopened Thursday for the first time since the Eagle Creek Fire.  The remainder of the Larch Mountain Trail, which continues up to the upper viewing platform, remains closed due to damage sustained by last year’s 48,000-acre Eagle Creek Fire.  Many road and trail closures remain in effect in the vicinity of Multnomah Falls due to damage or ongoing hazards, including Angels Rest Trail, Shepperd’s Dell State Natural Area, George W. Joseph State Natural Area, most segments of the Gorge 400 and Historic Highway State Trails, and all Forest Service system trails south of Interstate 84 in the Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area east of Angel’s Rest and west of Cascade Locks.  Please check for closures before heading out for a visit, by checking ReadySetGorge.com.  Violators that enter closed areas are subject to citations and fines.
