Folks, just a heads up that the Cameron County Conservation District is working with Grove Twp to improve the river access area at the bottom of Wycoff Road dow...nstream of the bridge. We were hoping to have it done sooner but we are unable to pour concrete until tomorrow. The access will be closed completely until this friday the 4th and after that will be limited to FOOT TRAFFIC ONLY until next week sometime. So PLEASE no driving on the new concrete. A sign will be posted at the site so everybody knows. This project will make it much easier for people to access the river to launch and recreate on Sinnemahoning Creek. No more mudhole to worry about getting stuck in. See more
