News » COTA / USFS decide to block off the big feature on ODP

Posted on 8/22/2009 by woodystarr

The USFS and COTA have mutually agreed to temporarily block access to the large, elevated feature along the ODP trail, known as the Black Pearl, for public safety reasons. We are closing the feature because the risks are unknown and potentially very high. Please respect this temporary closure. We also ask that no new "mandatory air" features be constructed on public land at this time. COTA is working closely with the Forest Service to reach some common ground with the goals of ensuring public safety and fostering the development of world-class mountain bike opportunities in Central Oregon. Thanks for your understanding!
