We will open on 10/12, and resume limited operations. Both buildings are undamaged and open. However, several trails are inaccessible due to downed trees and flooding. This includes the boardwalk to the lake. Other trails are passable, but are covered in leaf debris, small limbs, and muddy in spots. If you decide to visit, please keep this in mind. We will announce when all trails are accessible again.
