Surprisingly good...still mud holes and soft patches, so just ride through. Also be careful for other users this weekend. Even with the parking lots closed, I suspect a lot hikers and riders will be making their way in on Saturday.

Upper canal is perfect. Besides that, please stick to the trails that are marked yellow. The connectors and Stone House have some large muddy areas that crews cannot fix right now due to covid-19. PLEASE KEEP OFF THE TRAILS THAT ARE MARKED RED.

Upper Canal only please.
Sorry...it'll be a few days.
While a number of trails have opened, yellow isn't the same as green. Please carefully walk any muddy sections. Thank you.
Eyes have it that Upper Canal is good to go. Bloodshed needs another day or two.
