The current status of the AHT remains rough and extremely difficult to traverse for mountain bikers and hikers. Storm damage suffered from Sept 2009 to the current arriving storms have left large portions of the trail with down trees and extremely muddy conditions. We have managed to get a State Park skid steer and chainsaw crew to remove down trees from about 2/3's of the trail. 1/3 of the trail remains untouched and has many trees crossing the trail (Indian Creek Section - East Side)
HMBA has concentrated their efforts in building a bike/hike trail on our old Rocky Ridge Trail (Class A Campground) and an access trail from our fire tower to the Rocky Ridge Trail. If you begin at the fire tower and ride the access trail to and thru Rocky Ridgeback and back you can have a 6 mile ride. To date this is the best ride we can offer.
As additional information, a portion(s) of the Adventure Hiking Trail will be closed from November 16 to April 1 due to active timber sales and as a public safety measure implemented by the Division of Forestry. Timber sale areas are closed to the public during the above dates. I have included a timber sale map provided by Dwayne Sieg, Manager of the Harrison Crawford State Forest. If you have questions about forest management activities please contact Dwayne Sieg. His office number is 812-738-7694.
