Pacemaker Fishing Forum

From National Park Service: Edwards Ferry (mile 30.8)

    Towpath - Local Detour in effect starting September 11, 2023
    Boat Ramp, Parking Lot - CLOSED starting September 11, 2023

The park plans to replace three public vehicle bridges at Edwards Ferry, Dargan Bend, and Fifteen Mile Creek. Both the bridges at Dargan Bend and Fifteen Mile Creek show signs of deterioration and have reached the end of their service life. As a reminder, users should abide by any posted load restrictions when crossing any bridges in the park. At Edwards Ferry, the temporary bridge, previously installed as an interim repair measure, will be removed and replaced with a permanent structure during this project.

The project aims to increase visitor safety and provide a more sustainable method of accessing these recreational areas by removing the existing bridges and replacing them with new foundations and steel/wood superstructures. These new bridges are designed for modern vehicles loads that will better serve park operations, emergency responders, and park visitors.
