Stephens State Park Conditions

[iman29]

Howdy all. I’m good friends with Chainsawer and am also certified sawyer. While he’s still trying to get back on his bike he deployed me to clear some blow downs today. I don’t think I got all that have been reported on here recently but put a good dent in the park. See attached for the 9 I cleared. Look forward to continuing to work in Stephen’s. I’ll scroll back through this and see what’s remaining.

Thank you!

Maybe you can steal his chainsaw mount I got for him till he’s kicked the vertigo?


Thanks so much for all you are doing.

I wish I lived closer. I’d be out doing the same.

Thanks to Hungusoutdoors for getting after the Stephens blowdowns while I recover from this pesky vertigo thing! While my imbalance issues haven't improved, I've had a lot of testing done since this first hit in July. MRI's, CT scan, EKG, VNG test.. At least we've ruled out strokes, tumors, coronary issues. All things point to BPPV, which is caused by little calcium crystals getting into the vestibular canal. PT seems to be the only way to get thru this. I'm getting along pretty well otherwise, but Mt biking/Road biking remains off limits. Soon to try a rail trail spin. And hoping to sling a chainsaw again soon, albeit hiking-only missions. Can't wait to get back into the game again though. This sucks.

happily will, if he wants it.

Tell me about it. It was so disappointing but I was cooked at that point.

Thanks guys, rode the park yesterday, everything was running great !!!

This one is on Golden Trail. Not sure how @Hungusoutdoors and I missed it earlier in the week unless it is new or we didn't go in far enough (wasn't far at all from where we addressed something else). The other 17mi I rode today were clear sailing.

Good call! Saw that today and forgot to post it up! Trails were riding good but rocks were a bit slick this morning!

Two trees down here (Morris canal). I use it to get over to the green trail in DP.

These are gone 😎

Last night I cleared all that are on this map. @Teutonic got to the ones on the canal. Only tracking one more in Stephen’s over on the Orange trail. The park seems to be in great shape! Should point my saw towards other parks soon.

If you park at the continental dirt lot and ride over to stephens under rt 80, is that area cleared or will i be bushwhacking? should i just park on Kinney road?

I believe there will be some bushwhacking. Not terrible, but not great either.
