Description and Writeup
Complainant stated the following in their email:
"Good morning-I'm seeking assistance, action &/or guidance regarding a horse trail that was created that lays directly in a creek.
I frequent an area in Fentress County, the Big South Fork quite often for horseback riding. I have been made aware that there is a newly created "horse trail", by a developer and land owner, that lays directly within Crockett Creek which connects to a larger Laurel Fork Creek which then connects to North White Oak Creek.
I love horse trails, am a big advocate for trail riding and equestrian "rights" however I believe creating a "trail" within a creek is irresponsible and seriously detrimental to the water way, the water quality, the soil within the creek bed, erosion etc. with its high usage.
This land owner/developer permits public riders and encourages usage from the development which it is in Spruce Creek Acres.
I ask that an authority investigate and cease this destructive "trail".
As far as I know this "River Walk Trail" is at the end of Proctor Place Rd within Spruce Creek Acres and is owned by South Fork Properties, Ricky Rains/Ricky Roe.
Attached is a photo of a rider standing in said "trail"
Thank you for your attention to what I consider a potentially serious environmental matter."
