Trail was open an clear. No tree limbs down. Easy and fun water crossings. Huge Owl flew across my path while making the final crossing.

No trees down, completely passable with some patches of ice but two tracks have been worn through to dirt.

Passed one enduro bike/ dirt bike “think it was the mail guy” but trail is wide open. Low water as one 10/01. Some ruts but very passible. Be mindful of others and driveways.

Great conditions. All water levels normal at crossings. Tread Lightly and stay on the road.

Started on the south end and moved north. I passed 2 small beds of water they were no problem but puddle #3 was a little too deep! Felt like over 12” but under 24” of water. If you have a lift in sure you’d pass fine but I turned around just in case I couldn’t clear it. Very pretty with the leaves changing color this time of the year.

Simple trail. Mostly compacted dirt. Three minor water crossings of just a few inches.

Lots of ruts in the road, can easily get around or go through most of them. Water is shallow, even after the recent rain. Steep grades on one of the water crossings but nothing too technical.
