TRAIL FLOOD DAMAGE: LAST UPDATED 8/9/24, ALERTS ARE CURRENT UNTIL REMOVED

The entirety of the River Trail from Horseshoe Bend to the Brook Trail is badly damaged and marked sections of the trail are closed indefinitely. The damage on the east River Trail (across Main Road) was more extensive than we had originally anticipated. Major portions of the trail are either washed away or blocked by downed trees. As previously shared, the west River Trail (by the sugarbush) is completely washed out and is totally impassable. Please stay away from steep banks and edges.

The water level in Beaver Pond remains high and due to ongoing rains the bridge between Hemlock Swamp and Beaver Pond is often underwater. Be prepared for wet and muddy conditions around the pond.

Please stop by our Visitor Center or call us at 802-434-3068 for trail condition updates.
