Trail Reroutes
<P>Trails were not rerouted.&nbsp; The White trail begins at parking area P1.&nbsp; The Blue Trail is a connector trail from the White Trail to connect with the RW Trail, which will connect you to the BW Trail if desired.&nbsp; The option to use the dirt road (dam) is still there, and in high water is the better option to connect to those two trails.</P> <P>&nbsp;</P>

trl re-routes
The wht trl was re-routed to leave the road earlier. The blue trl was also re-routed beginning at the point where the wht trl leaves the road - so it now skips the road at the southern end of the pond. This is on the current map as best I can read it.
