Construction of Boardwalk at Turtle Mound in Apollo District of Canaveral National Seashore

The following press release was published by the U.S. Department of the Interior, National Park Service on April 2, 2019. It is reproduced in full below.

Canaveral National Seashore is set to begin construction to rehabilitate a key public access

area in the Apollo District, New Smyrna Beach. The boardwalk located at Turtle Mound will be closed, effective Monday, April 15th, 2019. This closure is expected to last 3 to 5 months. The closure may be extended due to inclement weather. The Turtle Mound parking area and shoreline will remain open and accessible, unless needed for staging materials. Turtle Mound is an archaeological site of national significance and extreme care is taken in design and construction, allowing visitors an outstanding view of Canaveral National Seashore from the top of the mound. We appreciate your patience as our skilled National Park Service workers complete this complicated job. This project is funded using your recreational fee dollars.
