For your consideration: We're hearing reports from folks of crossing over the ol' "LOG BRIDGE OF DEATH" again. The trail was re-routed north to a better crossing over a beaver dam in July of 2017. Perhaps that beaver dam is gone, or the trail has just worked its way back to the narrow log crossing and not knowing of or seeking an alternative crossing, folks simply can't resist the temptation to test their fate over the LOG BRIDGE OF DEATH! Maps & info below are from that 2017 re-route announcement. Happy Trails!
