km 2005 Conditions The section from Old Pinawa to the suspension bridge is good. There are a couple of minor wet spots but they will dry up quickly. The section from the fisher sign east to the diversion dam is also good. From the diversion dam west is not good. Parts of the trail are flooded and there is no easy way around the wet spots. The section from 211 to the dike has not been recently checked, but the whole section from the lagoons to the dike is very wet and not recommended for travel unless you are prepared to slog through the mud. Trail conditions should improve dramatically with a week or two of dry weather. |
