After the heavy snow the other day, I was not expecting these trails to be in good condition. It turned out to be true. There are still large patches of snow about 3-4 inches and Muddy areas where there is melting.

I would say that these trails will continue to be poor for about a week if warm, dry conditions persist. It will actually get worse if it is warm. Today the mud was present but minimal because the ground was still hard just below the 1-2 inch level in most spots. When it warms up, the mud will get deeper until it has time to dry out.

I would give it at least 1 week before trying to use these trails. Some will be fine but my experience was that conditions changes rapidly between sections as the trail climbed and descended and went into tree areas.
