New Hampshire – Bridge Closure – Great Gulf

10/22/2024

Officials with the U.S. Forest Service have closed the Great Gulf Bridge where the Appalachian Trail (A.T.) crosses the West Branch of the Peabody River (NOBO mile 1,873.8). Critical components of the bridge’s structure have started to fail and it is not safe to use. Hikers should plan to either find a safe location to ford the river or choose a different route. For information on safely fording rivers and streams along the A.T., visit our Rivers and Streams Crossing page.

We will update this notice when we have more information.
