Mud slide covering a section of trail near the beginning, can get around it fairly easy. https://www.trailforks.com/report/4514000/ still has Beth Nealson drive impassable. Watch out if using Old Catalyst to get to Beaver Flats as someone(s) is doing some trail improvements that doesnt seem to include non jumpers.

Thanks all! It would be cool if PA turned into a loop trail with the bottom section of beaver flats. Need a connector lower on the back of what used to be called Rim Job. Probably a bit too marshy down low though.

Sorry, can you get around Beth Nealson like last year? Heading out today for my first ride, but would likely skip PA/Catalyst if you can't get past the Ontario Line stuff.

I was talking to a guy yesterday who had tried to go through Catalyst and couldn't find any way through into PA, so you probably won't have much luck there.

With Beth Nealson getting dug out they have a fence blocking the other side of the road as well. The only way to get to PA would be to head back along Cata back to the beginning and taking the other trails or paved path to the north end of Beaver Flats and then up PA upline but I havent tried it that way yet. Many other longer ways around as well.

@Base93: I'm not sure if PA upline is still accessible, but there's a point earlier on Beaver Flats where you can just walk up the hill 10 feet to PA.
I've also seen taking Vanderhoof Hill to Wicksteed suggested, but I haven't seen that confirmed to be open yet.
