Spring Conditions on Hiking Trails

Spring Conditions on the White Mountain National Forest

The recent storms have resulted in record rainfall accumulation on the White Mountain
National Forest. Rivers and streams have risen significantly. Waterway depth, clarity,
speed, and hydraulic force in the already swollen rivers will change rapidly after heavy
rainfall events. Extreme caution should be used when crossing rivers or entering the
water.

Trails are wet and muddy resulting from several inches of summer rain. Expect to
encounter fallen trees in trails from the recent storm events.

Unpaved surfaces are very soft and muddy in some locations.
