The southeastern part of Oak Island was heavily impacted by a severe storm that created a large amount of tree blowdown and blocked access to trail sections. The following sections of trail are temporarily closed: - The Sandspit Trail (between the dock and sandspit) - The Loop Trail for 1 mile traveling north from sandspit - Note – currently the sandspit is accessible by water only, not by trail, and it is not possible to walk the entire Loop Trail.
