''' | '''Current impassable for horses''' due to at least two dozen blowdowns. Appears no maintenance performed in several years. In September 2020, only impressions and deposits for one horse down to the first beach. Older hoof impressions seen in the clay soil elsewhere. Growth along the path very thick in places, including kudzu taking over edges of an open area. At least one hillside portion of the trail has collapsed, thus will need to be rerouted. | ||
