Example of a Trail Update for a Route

Date:
4/25/2021

Current Status: Open with some issues

Additional Details: Recent rains have caused the river levels to rise substantially. Buffalo River is approximately 3' deep. Lifted vehicles with larger tires (33" +) may find it difficult and/or dangerous to cross Buffalo River. There's another crossing that's about 30" deep 1/2 mile north of the main crossing. We recommend checking water levels first, but this is typically the alternative crossing point. Aside from water levels, the rest of the trail is running fantastic!

Current Status: All of the route is open, except for one issue at Rattlesnake Ridge.

Additional Details: A couple weeks back, a small rockslide was blocking part of Rattlesnake Ridge Trail making it impassable. Currently it's unknown if Six Rivers NF (who manages Smith River NRA) is aware of the situation. We will be contacting them to get the latest status on the trail

Detour: The current detour simply entails skipping the Rattlesnake Ridge semi-loop, and following South Fork Road (road 427) to the route's terminus.
