I'm not even sure if the flood waters have subsided yet... but the floods seemed to have caused MASSIVE damage in the area. I was down at the "canoe launch site" off of Plumers Corner on Saturday, and there was 2-3' of water flowing across about 150-200 feet of road. The parking lots have to be heavily damaged, I wouldn't be surprised if one is gone altogether. I don't know how all of the singletrack would make out from this, but I don't think it's good at all. I'd expect a massive landscape change to the area - at least the main trail next to the river. I don't know if the wooden foot-bridges will still be there.
The main trail behind Tri-River looked okay. The large field by the bridge and the farm was part of the river - completely under fast-flowing water.
I did not cross the road at Tri-River to head up to the Northbridge side of the river - maybe tonight if I have time.
I have pictures at home that I'll try to get posted within the next 24 hrs...
