Upcoming construction on Tealtown Road may detour your usual route to our Rowe Woods main entrance.

Culvert replacement and drainage improvements will take place throughout November, 7 am–5 pm daily. See below for details:

• Monday, November 18–Thursday, November 28: Tealtown Road will be closed from Roundbottom Road to our main entrance. This estimated closure timeframe will be dependent on weather.

‍Please note that access to our entrance will remain open throughout the entire construction period. We'll keep you updated as we receive more information from the Clermont County Engineers.

Continue to check our website and social media channels for the latest updates.

On April 2, severe storms hit our area causing severe damage to the entrance. The original bridge was condemned for both vehicular and pedestrian traffic forcing us to close temporarily. Since then, we have been working hard to create a temporary entrance. We re-graveled the existing one-lane maintenance road and added vehicular bump outs to allow for two-way traffic. In addition, we purchased a temporary gatehouse, created signage, and increased staffing.

We are happy to announce that Long Branch Farm & Trails is now open to members only via the temporary entrance on Fay Road.

The new hours of operation will be as follows:

June, July, and August‍

• Open 7 days a week, 8 am–7 pm

September through October

• Closed Monday-Thursday

• Open Friday, Saturday, and Sunday 8 am–7 pm

November and December

• Closed Monday-Thursday

• Open Friday, Saturday, and Sunday 8 am–4 pm

Gates will be locked at 7 pm sharp. Hours are strictly enforced.

We are working on the new permanent bridge and hope to have it completed by later in the fall.

Thanks, to the amazing volunteers for completing another great project! Fernwood Trail is back open, and with a newly designed bridge. This design has gaps to allow debris to go through the bridge instead of getting caught, ultimately extending the lifetime of the bridge.

Thank you to the facilities crew of Dan, Aaron, and Jeff for assisting in this project and our board president David Bohl, and the donation of lumber from Kibler Lumberyard!
