What's the story these days with hackett and longwater?

[MrMischief]

I know there was a lawsuit over the hackett and longwater area a few years ago where environmentalists were trying to get the access shut down. What ever happened with those trails? Are they still open? Can you cross the river yet or is that now permanently closed?

[Big Dave]

I thought they were open to, or close to, the river, but not across the river? Nothing to back this up though.

They are open to the river, not across it.
