Parts of Juan de Fuca State Park, including the Juan de Fuca trail and backcountry campgrounds, have been closed after recent storms caused “significant damage” to many park areas and infrastructure, the Department of Environment said Friday.

Closed areas include the Sombrio Beach suspension bridge and Parkinson Trailhead.

The ministry said that in addition to China Beach and Second Beach, East Sombrio Beach, Botanical Beach and Botanical Bay are also open for daily use.
