REOPENING
24 JULY 2026
We are thrilled to announce that Pearson's Falls & Glen will be reopening its gates 24 July 2026. After a period of closure and careful restoration work following significant damage to the roads leading to the preserve, we are preparing to welcome visitors back to the trails, the wildflowers, and the waterfall they have come to love.
We are so grateful for your patience, your continued support, and your enduring love for this special place. The Glen has missed you, and we cannot wait to see you on the trails again soon.
