Sonora, CA – Sonora’s Dragoon Gulch Trail will reopen earlier than anticipated after being temporarily closed last week due to storm damage.
The downtown trail near Woods Creek Drive and Rotary Park off Stockton Road was closed on Monday, March 27th, with public safety concerns also an issue, as earlier reported here. Community Development Director Rachelle Kellogg detailed the damage, “A lot of water surged through the gulch, causing damage to the bridge area and trails along the creek.”
Kellogg added that the city will be seeking reimbursement through Cal OES for just over $36,000 in repairs. The trail closure signs will come down tomorrow, April 5, allowing the public to once again enjoy the great outdoors right in downtown Sonora.
