We are issuing this notice as early as possible to keep everyone informed.
After conducting a visual inspection, it was determined that the trail remains extremely muddy for approximately 100 feet leading to the riverbank. Because there is no safe route around the slick mud, Big Bend National Park has determined that conditions are unsafe for pedestrian travel in this area.
To ensure visitor safety, the Boquillas Port of Entry will remain closed on Thursday, November 5, and Friday, November 6. A follow-up visual inspection will be conducted Friday evening to determine whether conditions have improved and if it is safe to reopen the port of entry on Saturday.
We appreciate your understanding and patience as conditions continue to be monitored.
