Date Hiked: August 1, 2021
General Condition: Passable (some brush and/or deadfalls, tread evident)
All of the trails in Limekiln State Park are officially closed. The hazards are primarily due to remnant flood deposits. These consist of snags of large tree trunks, branches and rocky material. There are also recent tree falls and some standing trees that appear to be in precarious positions. There are small washouts of the trails in a few places. The bridge below the falls, at the confluence of the Kiln and Falls branches of the creek was destroyed. Overall, the condition of the forest near the campground appears very good, with little actual burn damage, but the secondary effects of the flooding seem to have triggered the closures.
