IMPORTANT NOTICE: The middle section of this site, from Conway Station Rd to Bardwells Ferry, is currently closed. The smaller of the two washouts along the old road bed (the one without a trail relocation yet) has apparently eroded just far enough that the trail there is considered unsafe. There is currently no re-route, but hopefully there will be soon! The eastern and western segments of this site are still open (however, the powerline crossings at the eastern end are somewhat overgrown and the trail needs some maintenance).
