reporter Nice new bridge at east end. West end not bad, can hop across sticks, but you might still get wet...

Finally, the bog at the east end has a new bridge. The bog at the west end still has just old planks on top of moss, but our feet didn't get wet.

      South end marsh has enough logs and firm ground that I crossed it without getting wet feet.
      I met two park wardens putting more trail markers on main loop. They said the bridges will be replaced this fall and the Pine Ridge loop will be opened.

      Bridges are brutal, nearly impassable. Dont venture far from white markers or be treated to the overnighters shit and toilet paper everywhere.....underwhelming experience

      Impassable, multiple bridges out or dangerous, high water levels, only able to get about 1/2 km in from parking sites

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
