This is due to a bridge that is out of service on Hazel Creek and adds about 1/2 mile to the hike. Ask the shuttle service about this when making a reservation to be dropped or picked up. Boat shuttles to and from Hazel Creek when lake levels are low are from the Ollie Cove Trailhead on the Hazel Creek embankment.Hikers need to be prepared to ford the streams. Boogerman/Caldwell Fork trails - several water crossings exist on the Caldwell Fork Trail.This is a wide crossing that may be deep during high water events. Rabbit Creek Trail - the bridge where the trail crosses Abrams Creek is out.Be prepared for swollen streams, bridge washouts, downed trees, and trail erosion when hiking in the park's backcountry. However, hikers may encounter trail conditions not listed below that require caution. The following list includes some conditions that the park is currently aware of. Please note that the park's backcountry is managed as a natural area where the forces of nature determine trail conditions.Scott Mountain Trail is closed from campsite #6 to Schoolhouse Gap.The trail is open Friday through Sunday each week, and on federal holidays. Ramsey Cascades Trail is closed Monday through Thursday for trail rehabilitation following flood damage.During the road closure, backcountry campsites 65 and 67 are closed. From August 14 to November 14, hikers and visitors cannot access the Noland Creek Trail, Lakeshore Trail, Goldmine Loop Trail, Benton MacKaye Trail, Lakeview Drive Tunnel, or the Tunnel Bypass Trail from Lakeview Drive while it is closed for reconstruction.

(Backpackers who already have permits that use the Little River Trail will be allowed to pass through the closure area by showing trail crew members the printed copy of their permit.)

Looking at partly to mostly cloudy skies tonight with a few showers possible, clearing late with lows in the 40's. Topical moisture from the remnants of Jova will decrease through tonight with sunny skies returning tomorrow through the end of the week. Forecast Updated: Monday, Sep 11 08:00pm
