River Highlands State Park

Date: November 5, 2011
Report Type: TA Report:
Trail Name: River Highlands State Park
Town: Cromwell
Trail Conditions: OMG!!
Observations/Information: I rode, or rather attempted to ride, the Blow Hole on Saturday. The park was devastated by the snowstorm. Far more damage than the hurricane. Oak limbs are everywhere, and many large trees came down as well. The yellow trail is impassable with several large trees across, as is the green trail north of yellow. All of the roads have multiple blockages as well. I was able to get the green trail south of yellow, up to the cul-de-sac, clear enough to ride, although there are a few bushwacks required, and a lot of derrailleur-eating sticks as well. I didn't get to the far north end of the park, but I assume it's just as bad.

So the park has maybe 3/4 mile of rideable trail right now. Attempting to ride any of the others in their current condition would be a waste of time.
