Anyone visit Water Co trails lately? Condition report?
I plan on hitting tomorrow afternoon and will report. I have a feeling it's still very soggy.

Fart noise.I had a feeling it would be bad. And it was. Thick mud, large trees down, and now overgrowth. A bit disheartening.

I rode from baldpate, up the green way and started to go into water co to just ride the opening little downhill. It was over grown and wet enough that I just turned around. July is when mike and I started trimming last year and it was really bad. I don’t think it was fully oopened up last year with the wet, so I would expect it is basically everywhere on the northeastern part of the loop, which I think is red?@Robin how much cutting needs to be done? I can get back there sometime soon.

Also, the greenway was better than expected however it seemed better climbing it as when I went back down, some of the mud holes made me yell “OH”! One or two big fall trees have been removed since the winter, curious is that was “the” tree guy.@clarkenstein I started in Lambertville and came up Quarry Rd via Orange/Red. It was bad. My arms and legs are torn. But with all the mud, it's probably just better to wait anyway. As for the trees, a "tree guy" with power saw needs to get in there. I know I'm short, but one tree I had to sit on to get over.
Word on the street is that the Yellow Loop / Western Side is good and that the Red / eastern side is super over grown.Anybody been over here lately? I was going to head over this afternoon as a first timer there , but the posts from May scared me.
Thanks!!Word on the street is that the Yellow Loop / Western Side is good and that the Red / eastern side is super over grown.
Rode there tonight for the first time since last winter. Rained soooo much I was busy ww kayaking. Was really cool to get back. Are their any trail maintenance days planned? I would help with trimming especially on red.
