July 14, 2022 Mon River Trails Conservancy Rail-Trail Improvements Breakiron Road Trailhead (aka Mellons Chapel Trailhead) The expanded and upgraded Breakiron Road Trailhead is open with 16 parking spots near mile 6 of the Deckers Creek Rail-Trail. This project improved drainage and expanded the trailhead from 6 to 16 parking spaces. As one trail user said “It starts the most beautiful and scenic section of the trail, heading upstream, of the rushing waterfalls and rock outcrops. A much-needed and appreciated improvement!”    Thank you to our contractor Mountain Valley Resources and to our funders and donors!
