On May 15, 2022, a fire started near the border of Black Run and Rancocas Conservancy’s Cold Spring Preserve on the west side of Kettle Run Road. Fortunately, the fire was contained and extinguished quickly using backfires along Borton’s Mill Road and firelines ploughed into Cold Spring. Unfortunately, the firelines obliterated sections of our trails and exposed potentially dangerous roots. Although trails on the west side of Black Run reopened on May 22, we are not recommending use of trails in the adjoining section of Cold Spring at this time. After remediation, we will announce a reopening.
