Trail Conditions 5/6/2026
Our trails remain muddy and wet in places, but they are in generally good shape for hiking. It’s a great time to visit waterfalls or walk along Flagstaff Lake without many other people around. Please tread lightly to avoid damaging the trails. It will still be a few more weeks before our trails open for bikes, and any updates will be posted here. All of the huts are currently closed for mud season.
Summer bookings for overnight reservations at Stratton Brook Hut are now open! Full hut rentals at both Stratton Brook & Flagstaff Lake Huts are filling up, especially for the first part of the summer, so be sure to book your soon!
Dogs are allowed April 15th – November 30th only. Clean up after your pooch, please.
