Trail Conditions

• 10-Nov-2001: Hope these aren't African Killer Bees. Found these guys busy building their hive in a tree along one of the impoundment roads. Trails are a little overgrown in places particularly in the pine flatwoods and around the historic quarry area.  Be advised, there is a lot of poison ivy in this area, so you may want to stick to the trail. Also vandals have destroyed some of the trail markers and displays.
