      Still wondering which hiking trails were affected by the recent Seymour River rockslide?

      Metro Vancouver has released the above map of trail closures in the Lower Seymour Conservation Reserve.

      In an update on Saturday (December 12), the regional government stated:

      Hazard assessments are continuing, although it is clear that the area around Twin Bridge presents significant danger to people using trails in the vicinity due to: hazard trees, unstable slopes and flooded trails. Heavy rainfall and high winds this week have contributed to tree and slope stability concerns. Hikers and visitors to the Lower Seymour Conservation Reserve are urged to respect the closures for their safety.

      However:

      Those people wishing to view the sites are welcomed to see the rockslide site from Fisherman’s Trail and Twin Bridge from the west side of the bridge. There is a small area directly impacted by the rockfall and flooded area that will remain closed to the public.

      According to Metro Vancouver, the beleaguered span at Twin Bridges is set to be removed in the "near future". A 375-metre section of Fisherman’s Trail (between the Mystery Creek Trail and Twin Bridges) and the Bottletop mountain bike trail will stay closed.
