| Water Crossing Notes: |
The Thoreau Falls Bridge is closed, but I was able to rock hop across just on the East side of the bridge. The water is currently low, but this will be difficult to do a good majority of the year. |

| Trail Maintenance Notes: |
All trails are in good shape. For the Thoreau Falls Trail, I removed a few small blow downs and did some brushing as I was passing thru. The trail definitely needs more brushing, which I hope to do in a few weeks. |

| Comments: |
The Thoreau Falls Bridge is permanently closed and they have already started removing it (about 25% of it has been removed). The FS did a good job with placing large signs at the beginning of the Lincoln Woods and East Side Trails warning hikers about the bridge closure/removal. |
