Chimney Rock Conditions

[jredone]

anyone know what's up with the construction cutting off green from Vosseler to Millers?

Family member lives on the corner of vosseller and miller. Apparently they’re clearing out a new entrance and parking area for the trailhead. I could be wrong but thats what they’re hearing in the neighborhood talks. Pretty sad, was riding down miller yesterday and they demolished a pretty large portion of forest up there. All the high tech stuff is taped off with signage of trail closure.

How much rain did you get out there? Would it be good to ride dawn patrol tomorrow? (Sunday)

Steady rain for a good few hours. Much more than was forecast. That being said, if you don't mind wet rocks and leaf cover, I don't think it will be muddy.

Been meaning to look into that, saw the survey flags out on the last ride. I think there’s some sewer lines through there, probably some utility work.

It looks pretty extensive. My mind went to housing development and trail destruction! I’d hate to lose anything up there.

Strange they would clear forest when there’s already a clearing and gated entrance at the bend. I always thought it had been a parking lot many moons ago.

I agree, strange to clear trees for this when there’s already a parking area at the end of the road.

Nothing on the park website about it

Maybe that section is township property?
