CAMBA Trail Conditions
|
All CAMBA trails are open. Trails will remain open throughout the season except for special circumstances such as major weather events or active logging projects near the trails. As always, use your best judgment when riding immediately after a major rainfall. If your tires leave anything more than a dimpled Impression on the trail, it is too wet to ride. Generally speaking, if it rains overnight or early morning, all singletrack trails will be good to ride by the afternoon. Grassy trails, however, should be avoided for at least 24 hours. Do not ride the Updated 9:06 AM 5/6/2010 |
To report a downed tree or other maintenance need, contact the specific trail steward for that cluster here. |
