Service Disruption: Kirk Cousins Area and Trail Temporarily Closed
The Kirk Cousins Management Area will close October 2 for the remainder of the season – reopening in April 2024. Please be patient. Staff will be revamping the parking lot, adding a picnic area, new signage and removing invasive species. It’s a long overdue facelift that we think will make the area more inviting. For more information please see our latest post.
