UTAH — The U.S. Forest Service’s Salt Lake Ranger District has announced that the north end of the Silver Lake Boardwalk to the parking lot will be closed from September 23 through December 1. The closure will allow construction crews to remove and replace parts of the boardwalk and use the north side of the parking lot for staging.

In addition, the main entrance near the visitor center, the gateway to where the north and south sections of the boardwalk split, will also be closed. The south arm of the boardwalk will be closed 50 feet pasted the gateway, while the north arm will be closed all the way to the dirt portion of the trail.

Hikers can still enter the south arm of the boardwalk through the picnic trail near the public restroom.

Closed areas will be marked with signs, barricades, and temporary fencing during the closure.
