Backcountry Trail Conditions
GPS is necessary on backcountry trails: Oakridge, River, and Kingsnake. These trails may be difficult to follow. River Trail is not recommended at this time due to the volume of downed trees and debris from recent storms.
Flood Conditions
Due to recent rain/high water levels, flood conditions affect all trails except ~0.5mi of the boardwalk, the Bluff, Firefly, and Longleaf trails.
