DOTHAN, Ala. (WDNews) – Dothan Leisure Services has announced that a portion of the Forever Wild Trails will temporarily close starting Monday, August 11 at 6 a.m. for boardwalk improvements.
The closure affects Connector B (500s boardwalk) near markers 500, 510, and 520, impacting access to the following trails from the North and West Trailheads:
- 600s Zion Cemetery Ridge

These areas will remain accessible via the East Trailhead, located off Fortner Street.
