Church Creek — Thursday, Sep. 16, 2021

I hiked the Church Creek trail on September 16, 2021.  I counted 28 drainage ditches on the road to the trailhead.  This is not a problem for folks with a high clearance vehicle.  Others will have to take caution not to bottom out as they cross over the drainage ditches.  I would not drive a Prius or other low to the ground vehicle down this road.  The trail is in great shape and I enjoyed picking blueberries along the last mile as I approached the lake.  There are some impressive trees along the trail as well.  I only saw one other hiker picking berries that came in from the west end of the trail.  You do pass through significant foliage/shrubs so wearing long pants that dry quickly is a good idea. As others have mentioned roads leading to the trail will be gated October 1st so you have two weeks left to enjoy the trail.
