Aug 17, 2026 @ 9:23am (America/Los_Angeles) Aug 17, 2026 | mtb Rode the trail CCW from shadow bay. Entire loop. About 90 trees down. Asked for permission to clear and was told the trail is closed. That said the Willamette site says trail is open only that the trailhead is closed. There are several trailheads. The only work happening currently is fire staging (minimal) for mopup operations north of Waldo. Those crews are nowhere near the trail. One guy came to chat with us as we stopped for a snack. He just said no camping but didn’t care or know anything about trails. | Dry | view | |
Jul 17, 2026 @ 3:02pm (America/Los_Angeles) Jul 17, 2026 | mtb Rode the full loop after a thunderstorm for a sunset ride on the west shore and in the dark on the way back to shadow bay. Between black creek trail and salmon creek trail there were probably 100 down trees. Still enjoyable if you’re not soft. Around the salmon creek trail I ran into where the fs guys were camped and cutting. From there on it was golden. I would be on the north end during working hours as theirs some big work being done with machinery and tree clearing still. | Ideal | view | |
Jul 3, 2026 @ 12:56pm (America/Los_Angeles) Jul 3, 2026 | mtb First ~ miles along north shore is clear and rideable, then trail becomes unrideable and unwalkable due to down trees and debris. | Very Dry | view | |
Jun 16, 2026 @ 8:23am (America/Los_Angeles) Jun 16, 2026 | mtb Heartbreaking report... Neither trail is marked closed by the FOREST CIRCUS. There is an excess of 400 trees blocking the trail with most down within the western burn area. I'm not exaggerating on the number of trees. As I started the ride from shadow bay road clockwise, I was excited to see the first 2 miles of the trail was cleared recently but only to the south shelter. A trail that normally take 3hrs on avg to ride, took me close to 5hrs due to hopping hundreds of trees and thousands of branches and debris in the trail. The trail is blocked at the N. campground, not accessible to continue. It's not worth attempting to ride the trail anytime soon, unless the USFS gets this place cleaned up. Such a beautiful iconic place that has been destroyed by fire the USFS management. Saddened to see this! | Very Dry | view | |
Sep 20, 2025 @ 7:49am (America/Los_Angeles) Sep 20, 2025 | trailrun Trail was marked closed for logging. It was early Saturday morning so I and several others went under the closer. The trail was fine. No workers. At the north campground there were several logging machines but no workers. | Dry | view | |
Sep 13, 2025 @ 11:48am (America/Los_Angeles) Sep 13, 2025 | ebike Trail is in decent shape. The 4 downed logs mentioned by ifrankie are still there, but they're easy to carry bike over. Everything under 6" has been cleared (for now). | Dry | view | |

Aug 13, 2025 @ 11:07am Aug 13, 2025 | mtb Four trees are down, blocking the trail in the NW burn area. Soil erosion is extreme in the burn, with many exposed roots. One big boulder slid into the trail in the NW area. | Dry | view | |
Aug 8, 2025 @ 10:33pm Aug 8, 2025 | mtb Glad it’s still there and rideable. Some welcome new green growth, most dry snags broken back. Little more solid than last yr. North was a heavy burn so ashy w/o shade. | Dry | view | |
Jul 24, 2025 @ 5:34pm Jul 24, 2025 | mtb Riding well, some trees down at the end of the loop but it wouldn’t be a journey without some hiccups. | Dry | view | |
Jul 9, 2025 @ 4:03pm Jul 9, 2025 | mtb 5 trees down, from shadow bay road to south shelter. Rest of way to N Campground, is clear but extremely rutted from burn, has worsened over winter. Trail is overgrown in many spots. On south and western slope. This trail need some love. Glad is is open, but thinning is needed! From N Campground to shadow bay road has a couple trees down, but riding nice ! | Very Dry | view | |
Jul 7, 2025 @ 7:55am Jul 7, 2025 | mtb Fully logged out and riding well, still a few mucky spots but they're short. Watch for debris on the trail in burned areas. | Dry | view | |
Oct 13, 2024 @ 8:11am Oct 13, 2024 | trailrun The trail was perfect. Most sections were dry but soft ground. Fallen trees have mostly been cleared. Burn sections were dryer but still good trail. | Dry | view | |
Oct 4, 2024 @ 11:13am Oct 4, 2024 | mtb Much more roots and rocky than it was a few years back. Glorious views. | Dry | view | |
Sep 29, 2024 @ 9:38pm Sep 29, 2024 | mtb Burned out roots make this trail very chunky right now. The ride was still great and very beautiful. | Dry | view | |
Sep 14, 2024 @ 3:56pm Sep 14, 2024 | mtb Recent rain helped trail conditions. No mosquitoes encountered. The fire left the trail bumpy in many sections | Dry | view | |
Aug 12, 2024 @ 3:18pm Aug 12, 2024 | mtb Thank you!!! to the Peeps that cleared the trees around the JW loop. The trail is CLEAR & rideable including the burnt NW section. Although very CRISPY and bumpy in the NW part. The old burn hasn't changed, with the exception all the wood that was left from the previous fire is now burnt. Good news, the trail is not dead and has come back to life! Please get out and ride it, need tracks on the burnt area to smooth it out! | Very Dry | view | |
Oct 12, 2023 @ 12:32pm Oct 12, 2023 | mtb Still about 20 trees down and heavy erosions from 2022 fires, mostly on northeast end. Most sections have been cleared and are rideable. Just not the same trail however. | Variable | view | |

Jul 11, 2022 @ 11:08am Jul 11, 2022 | mtb Bring a chain saw!!! Lots of trees/logs/branches down, on and off bike every few hundred yards. Still a bit of patchy snow around the south and west sides of lake. Clockwise from Shadow cove not recommended. North and east side of lake rode well. Skeeters are treacherous! plan for 3.5-4 hours. | Variable | view | |
Jul 8, 2022 @ 4:18pm Jul 8, 2022 | mtb Large and small trees down across trail, blocking trail. In total 75 Trees down, and many snow patches on south and west slopes.
