BLM Announced Lower Table Rocks Trail closed until Mid-December
The Bureau of Land Management has closed the Lower Table Rocks Trailhead, parking lot, and trail now until mid-December.
The trail system is closed to facilitate paving of the Lower Loop Trail and to create a wheelchair-friendly access at the Lower Table Rocks.
The BLM anticipates the paving project to last one month. They will reopen the trail as soon as the project is complete.
The Table Rocks are designated as an Area of Critical Environmental Concern because of their cultural and biological significance. More than 50,000 visitors annually hike the Table Rocks, making it one of the most popular hiking locations in southern Oregon.
The Upper Table Rocks Trailhead, located just five miles away from Lower Table Rock, remains open. Other useable trails include the Jacksonville Woodlands Trail, Mountain of the Rogue, East Applegate Ridge Trail, and the Jack-Ash Trail.
