Ringwood State Park Conditions

Alligator and Cooper Union north were all clear of trees today. Dips and low end of Alligator were wet. So was entrance trail from the lake in the dips, but other trails were perfect. I cleared out drainages the best I could.

Did you notice if there was still a large tree over the original thread on the very trail in the picture going toward state line? it may not have been noticeable because a quite effective reroute had been created over time.

Yes, I did notice a go-around that was very well worn in. Probably could just stay that way.

Confirmed, it is still there. The reroute is pretty well worn in and pretty effective. I don’t think it would be a priority to clean up.

Thank you both for the feedback.

Yes, concur with above comments. Art saw that tree and may decide to leave it, or slightly tweak one end of go around for flow.

I've got a little trigger happy with the chainsaw lately 😁 but I'm 100% sure you'll make the best call. I've a feeling there's not going to be any shortage of deadfall to deal with in the months to come...

Sunday I spotted a medium size tree down at the top of Blueberry Way (red X on map). It's pretty spongy and rotted. Will be an easy cut.

Ah, so that’s why it’s called BBW on strava. I always thought BBW meant something else 🤣

Will trails be swamped later today and/tomorrow?

 

[Cannonbill]

They were generally fine today

 

[serviceguy]

Trails were in great shape today, just some soft, wet spot in the usual places. Cleared of all tree obstruction I have been reported so far. My feet are about to explode. I’m out. Go get some.

Not sure how long this weather is going to hold but trails were perfect today.
