Reviewed 2026-10-22. Operator records the June 20 opening of this 3.5-mile section, mostly aggregate with just under one paved mile through town. Choose firm dry tread. The 2026 New Pekin–Deam Lake flood closure applies to another disconnected section. This is a source review, not a same-day inspection. Recheck the linked manager before travel.
