Trail Conditions
Blue Hills Trail CONDITIONS
Enjoy the developing fall colors. There's good hiking, especially where we've mowed. Grasses are knee high or waist high or taller if not mowed. Visit this link for mowing updates.
For mountain biking, conditions are often best on the West Side where many of the trails are drier (A-Y-Z-E-D-C-B-A is usually a good route).
Insect activity is relatively low.
