Neilmann Trail Update (May 22nd)

Neilmann Trail Update-May 22ndDue to the large rain fall this spring, the vernal pond water levels at the Neilmann parcel have reached record highs.  Please read the following for important trail information. The yellow trail is substantially flooded, but it is possible to walk around the water. The south branch of the yellow trail (to your left when facing the kiosk) has several small and one large puddle.  The north branch of the yellow trail (to your right when facing the kiosk) has one small and one quite large puddle. Orange and silver striped tape have been put up to mark a dry detour around this puddle. The orange trail has some significant puddles, but they are easy to get around.   In summary, the Neilman trails are fairly flooded and muddy, but passable with detours.  If possible, stay on the north side of the yellow trail.
