Trail Conditions 8/31/2026
As the leaves start to change, it is beginning to feel like fall across our trail network! Our trails are in good shape, and it’s a great time to enjoy the warm weather while it lasts. Beaches on Flagstaff Lake are near their maximum extent as our dry stretch of weather continues. Trail crew work has wrapped up for the summer, and trail users can enjoy new bridges on Larry’s Trail along with improved trail sections on Crommett’s Overlook.
Stop by Stratton Brook Hut for lunch, a snack, a drink, or just to say “hi” on weekends from 11:00–2:00! Self-service overnight stays are also available at Stratton Brook Hut on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday nights. Limited fall dates for full hut rentals at both Stratton Brook & Flagstaff Lake Huts are still available for groups.
Dogs are allowed April 15th – November 30th only. Clean up after your pooch, please.
