The Francis Asbury trail along the Lake Junaluska Walking Trail and a portion of Lakeshore Drive will be closed the week of Aug. 27 for the removal of five dead and dying trees.

The Francis Asbury trail is one of the oldest parts of the Lake Junaluska Walking Trail and spans the area between the butterfly garden and the bridge over the dam. Lakeshore Drive from the Lambuth Inn to the bridge will be closed. People will be able to complete the walking trail loop by taking Lambuth Drive and Pinson Hill.

Maps with detailed information on how to navigate the detour are available at the front desks of the Bethea Welcome Center, Lambuth Inn and The Terrace, or at www.lakejunaluska.com/laketrail.
