Jackson County Greenway provides access update

File photo

While most of the river access points and parks are open along the Jackson County Greenway, there has been some damage that will take some time to clean up since the FEMA cleanup group has to remove debris before the county can start its own cleanup and repairs.

• Shook Cove Lower River Access is open. Please be careful of any leftover debris around the access.

• Shook Cove Upper River Access is open. Please be careful of any leftover debris around the access.

• East LaPorte Park is closed until repairs are made.

• Locust Creek River Access is open. Please be careful of any leftover debris around the access. Also as a reminder, please look at signs and utilize the correct parking areas. During the fishing guide season, areas that are marked for trailers only need to remain open for vehicles with trailers only.

• Webster River Access across from Webster Baptist Church is also closed until repairs can be made.
