Auke Lake Trail Reopens After Landslides

Auke Lake Trail in Juneau faces significant damage from recent landslides, forcing its closure. Trail Mix Inc., the local nonprofit maintaining the trail, is working to repair the path, which was blocked by a fallen tree. The organization is adjusting its maintenance planning due to increased climate-related disturbances, setting aside time for extra work like restabilizing bridges and clearing landslide debris. Despite the closure signs, people are still using the trail. The goal is to reopen Auke Lake Trail by the end of this week, with plans to add moss and native vegetation for revegetation in the spring. However, the slide areas remain potentially unstable, and another storm could cause further slides. DNN | The Daily News Now! The world’s first global local news network. Every city. Every story.
