Atkins Roundhouse was severely impacted by the 2020 Derecho, leading to its closure due to tree hazards. We received a Community Development Block Grant for a timber stand project which began in January 2025. While progress is being made, the property remains closed for safety due to heavy equipment use.

Future plans for the Roundhouse include new trails, prairie and tree replanting after the project. Updates will be shared on BCC social media. Access will stay restricted until clearing is complete, with a timeline dependent on weather conditions.

Thank you for your patience and support!
