​TRAIL REPORT
November 1, 2018
  • The trails are always well-maintained.  An over-abundance of rain on top of falling leaves, and colder temperatures,  has created some wet areas.   You may run into slippery sections along the trails.   Appropriate footwear is always recommended. 
  • Autumn is rounding the corner into winter!  The fields have all been mowed down in preparation for killing frosts and soon snow.  Colder temperatures may require additional layers of clothing.   Dress according to the season.
  • A few "blaze orange" vests available at the Visitor's Sign-in Kiosk for our guests to wear on the trails if they wish to borrow one.  Please return them  to the Visitor's Kiosk.
  • As always, please remember to sign in at the Visitor's Kiosk. 

Join us soon and enjoy the beautiful CSVW Trails & Teacup Lake, gardens, birds and wildlife!
