Long-term Closures

Sections of the Dyea Townsite trails have been closed indefinitely. Parts of park trails have been destroyed after seasonal flooding events on the Taiya River since 2018. As the river rises, it undercuts the bank on the north end of the townsite trail system. Continued significant erosion events are anticipated. As river levels drop the bank remains undercut. Park visitors are asked to obey the closure for their safety. For more information visitors should contact the park.
