Flooding Affecting Steamboat Trace Trail
04/29/2013

(KTNC) - Flooding is again affecting a section of the 22-mile Steamboat Trace Trail.  The Nemaha Natural Resources District is cautioning trail users that flooding has damaged a three-mile section of the trail north of Brownville, stretching between the bridges that cross Honey Creek and Weldon Creek.
 NRD crews were on site last week, trying to address the damage, which has left some ditches and eroded areas in the crushed rock surface.
 Until more permanent repairs can be made, visitors are encouraged to proceed cautiously through the area and heed directions and precautions on posted signs.  It’s recommended that bicyclists walk their way through the rough spots.
 Floodwaters have receded for now, but NRD officials say more rain could bring more problems.
