The WestSide is drier and offers good hiking and mountain biking conditions. Recently mowed trails have short grasses; elsewhere, grasses are knee high to waist high. Bug activity is moderate. Be aware of logging activity on the EastSide near numbers 11-29-10 (see links to Trail Maps) Recent conditions visible at the photo gallery - latest pictures dated April 23.

	Last Mowed: the closest half of the EastSide was mowed July 17th. Mowing of the WestSide also is under way.
