June 19, 2024 Flood Event Trail Condition Report

After the intense rain event on June 18th – 19h, volunteers ventured out on the trails to assess trail safety and resource condition. While all trails are passable, many areas are gullied and runoff has displaced soil or gravel and piled up debris. 

READ THE FULL CONDITION REPORT

---

Please use caution when crossing deep gullies such as on the Brownstone Trail at Blue Wing Bay Road, as the sides could collapse. There is standing water or heavy mud where drainage is minimal, including on the Big Ravine’s Headwaters and upper East Rim; Brownstone Trail near the Wild Rice Retreat; and Jerry Jay Jolly. Practice muddy trail etiquette: if you leave a track, please turn back. Or, if you feel compelled to walk the trail, walk through the mud, not around it. 

From what we see, all of the issues can be repaired, but we’ll need lots of volunteers to help during the next 2-3 months, especially on the Brownstone, Big Ravine, and Siskiwit River Preserve.
