If it has been rainy they will close the roads. It can be a little muddy and slippery at times.

Wetlands were closed to car traffic today. When will they’ve open again?

Martha Hughes | Sep 12, 2019
Trilby Saldana | Sep 12, 2019

I don't know, but they close it probably due to excessive rain. There are pot holes and is probably due to those getting worse. probably repairing. Once open, you'll love it. So beautiful there

Is there a reason for the roads inside the wetlands to be closed? We went today and could only do perimeter.

Nancy McCandless | Sep 12, 2019
Eric Thompson | Sep 12, 2019

Sometimes they are closed due to conditions. If they've been really wet they can get damaged more easily, so they'll be get preemptively closed. Additionally they've been closed at other times for resurfacing following damage like excessive washboarding. It's also possible that if an animal, especially a protected animal, nested too near the road it couldn't blocked off temporarily.

Is it open Christmas day?

Rob Wells | Sep 12, 2019
Alex Chalcraft | Sep 12, 2019

Most likely not, it is managed by County (Brevard) employees. They are over zealous in their role on regular days, hounding you to exit way before closing time. It would certainly be a nice walk Christmas day if it's open, great scenery and nature!

Why can't we drive as rope up but had seen yesterday it wasn't up, from Illinois and love coming 😫

Sissy Reese | Sep 12, 2018

A lot of times they close it after a heavy rain to keep the road from being destroyed from car traffic.

Today, January 13, 2018, we went to the Grissom Memorial Wetlands, but a chain was across and we could not drive the car through. Have you changed it to just walking through, or will you allow cars to drive through once again? Thanks.

Shirley Widman | Sep 12, 2018
Bonny Hibbard | Sep 12, 2018

Usually they put the chain across when it has been raining a lot bc the road washes out and develops huge pot holes
