DEC Closes Wakely Mountain Trail

DEC has closed the Wakely Mountain Trail immediately and until further notice due to safety concerns with the Wakely Mountain Fire Tower.

The fire tower was closed to public access in December 2016 due to structural deficiencies. The condition of the tower has worsened and it is possible the tower may collapse in heavy winds.

DEC is closing the trail to prevent injuries to visitors if the fire tower collapses.

Repairs will be undertaken as soon as possible to prevent the collapse of the fire tower.
