Trail in good shape except at one stream crossing where you and/or your dogs will definitely get a tad wet and muddy. Nothing horrible. Only ran into a few people. Our dogs enjoyed all the leaves.

Trail is very rough to navigate along the river. At one spot logs are the only way to cross a creek that runs into the river.
