COTTER RIVER TRAIL TO BE TEMPORARILY CLOSED TO PUBLIC
Starting on February 16, 2026, a portion of the Cotter River Trail will be closed to the public.
The upper trail will be closed from north gate at HIS Place Resort just down river beyond the new bridge where the above-ground cast iron Sewer Main goes underground.
The Cotter River Trail will be closed approximately 4-6 weeks depending on the weather.
The Sewer Contractor’s subcontractor will be removing trees to protect the recently installed sewer main from tree damage in the future as required by USDA Phase II Sewer Project.
Following the tree work, the Sewer Contractor will seal the inside of the concrete manhole located on the walking trail.
Users of the Cotter Walking Trail can only access the lower portion of the river trail from Big Spring Park.
To all the walking enthusiasts who use the Cotter Walking trail, we are sorry for the inconvenience and appreciate your understanding so the Cotter-Gassville USDA Sewer Project can be finalized.
For further information, contact the Mayor at Cotter City Hall at 870-435-6326
