Updated March 24, 2012

Notice: Storm flood damage has washed out a trench across the Trail about 1.5 miles from the Brockdale Park Trailhead. This trail is CLOSED until the damage can be repaired (perhaps 2 weeks?).

Brockdale Park North trail is also closed due to muddy conditions, but this will likely change once drier conditions have dried things out a bit.

If you have questions, you may contact Charlie Gaines, the Trail Steward.
