You can right-click and open in a new tab to view them.

Unfortunately, what they're doing is having some of the intended effect. I haven't ridden there in at least two months now, after they demolished the flow trail.

Will have to go soon just so I can flip the bird at the man.

Flow trail is a mess, it's anything but a Flow trail at the moment.

Still plenty of people out riding, but no where near the numbers there used to be. I still firmly believe 3/4 of the traffic was due to Ride being so close, when they showed up we saw a major jump in trail construction and trail use.

I will say, I was probably out a little to soon after the rains, but not as soon as enough hikers to tromp through the mud on the fire road to the dam and the trail after the second bridge on the way up to Serpentine. Thankfully other bikers had been out and trails were starting to be smoothed a little in some spots.

yeah i see them now.

Where was that second picture taken? I cannot picture it in my mind.

I am sure we will see a big spike in trail usage in a few weeks when Daylight Savings is back.

Was out there last night and saw some of the new signs. I give it 2 weeks before they are all gone.


One interesting note, the Signs in the area of the old Flow Trail all say Pedestrian Traffic Only.... So did Fish n Game change their stance on blocking all access and now are allowing pedestrians?

I didn't mention that, but I thought that. They are specifically countermining their own rules with the posting of Pedestrian Traffic Only, as well as Area Closed, paired with those Pedestrian Only and Dogs must be Leashed signs.

Guess they only want "War" on one user group and not all User groups.

Guessing the ranger just grabbed every sign in the storeroom and put them out there.

wow, really? That did not take long. Not really surprising honestly. There are just way too many users out there to stop access with a handful of signs.

Fish n Game is going to need to do some sort of trail user outreach to get a better idea of how the public uses those lands. Short of a Giant wall and 24/7 surveillance they are not going to keep people out.

I think that most trail users (all types) don't have a clue about what's going on there, what's open or not, and probably don't care. They're just trying to have a fun time out in nature blowing off steam.
