Are trails open today?

This is a frequent question we see, many times on social media and also in messages we receive.  If you are a new trail user, you might be surprised to find out we close trails sometimes due to weather.  Our biking (and hiking) trails can be damaged when used during wet conditions.  To lessen damage and prevent unnecessary repair work, we follow the guideline of closing the trails for 24 hours for every 1 inch of precipitation.  

​PSP trail riders, we’ve made it easy to check the status of mountain bike trails at Pocahontas State Park.
(Always check status before you ride!)

Onsite at the Loop Forest parking lot:
Mountain Bike Trail Condition Indicator:  Installed for easy visibility from your car or bike at the Loop Forest Parking lot kiosk. 
View up-to-the-minute mountain bike trail status overview via the lights on the front (the light blinks to show status) 
Green light = ALL TRAILS OPEN
Yellow lights =  SOME CLOSURES
Red light = ALL TRAILS CLOSED. 
 
 
Via your mobile device:
Open up the link below or scan the QR code using your phone's scanner.  Once open, go to your browser’s options and find “Add to Home Screen”.   This will add the website link button directly to your phone’s home screen so you can easily open and check the trail status like you would use an App from your phone.
