| Parking/Access Road Notes: |
Hadn't given a TR on Elmore in a while so here goes. Elmore State Park open until Columbus weekend; I believe $5 entry charge as well as seasonal options. Once park closes one can park at beach parking which is accessed off the Beach Road. |
|
| Surface Conditions: |
Dry Trail, Mud - Minor/Avoidable |
|
| Recommended Equipment: |
|
|
| Water Crossing Notes: |
The 4 crossings on the Ridge tr. are rarely more than rock steps across; 2 are bridged. |
|
| Trail Maintenance Notes: |
Some more nice work done on Ridge Tr. by Alex, Kevin and crew back in July or June. Thanks crew! A large piece of ledge broke off between 8-6 & 8-12 on Ridge Tr.; not to be dramatic but it changed the trail for a short section and fortunate no one near when it happened. Actually may turn out better with a few more well placed rock pieces. |
|
| Dog-Related Notes: |
Dog friendly trails with many water ops; there are leash rules which most hikers don't mind being broken with well behaving dogs (and owners). Rarely an issue. |
|
| Bugs: |
A few flies around but very enjoyable day. |
