Reviewed 2026-10-23. Dated source review, not a field inspection or a same-day all-clear. Use the regional trail rather than an unverified Audubon inner loop. Hills, floods and holiday closures require checking; older fixed-date holiday notices are not assumed current 2026 calendar dates. This is a source review, not a same-day inspection. Recheck the linked manager before travel.
