Recent storms have caused the 12 Days of Christmas to become inaccessible and the route has been altered.

Due to increased water levels from the recent storm, the NIL route has been altered and the 12 Days of Christmas displays are not currently accessible. As the water level drops the route will be adjusted. We apologize for any inconvenience. Thank you for your patience while we work to return the route to it’s full capacity and we wish you a merry holiday season.
