Trail Conditions

South Side Trails:
Flint Trail is re-opened but still has debris from the tropical storm.
Swamp Trail is permanently closed.

North Side Trails:

  • Double Oak Road Trail and a portion of the Griffin Trail are closed indefinitely to decrease the spread of invasive wavyleaf basketgrass. This species is native to Europe and Asia and detrimental to our ecosystem because it will outcompete native vegetation. Its sticky seeds are spread by attaching to hikers' boots and clothes as well as attaching to the fur of animals. Access to this trail is prohibited until the basketgrass stops seeding to reduce the spread of this plant and keep our forests as native as possible.
  • PF2Bay Bridge #3 has been repaired.
  • Horse Swamp Trail sustained damage in the recent hurricane but is passable.

North-South Trail/Parkers Creek Loop:
THE RAFT IS BACK & IN OPERATION! See details about its rescue here.
