Part of Riverside Trail Closed Indefinitely
A section of the Riverside Trail in Portland is closed indefinitely due to safety and maintenance concerns.
The closure affects approximately 1 mile of trail between Forest and Warren avenues and was prompted by the removal of several homeless encampments along the Presumpscot River.
According to the head of Portland Trails, a nonprofit that maintains nearly 100 miles of trails, the area had fallen into disrepair over the past year as city officials cracked down on public camping, leading to the establishment of homeless encampments along the trail.
- The closure took effect in October.
- Portland Trails had previously issued an alert for the area, warning trail users of safety hazards and advising caution.
