closed: Resolved #187129

Trails:

Other: On Sunday afternoon after all the rain, I noticed a debris dam across the creek that was holding back some water. Yesterday it was not holding back water, but remains in a position to collect more debris in the next rains. On Sunday I could see from the trail through Olcott woods that the water had overflowed at the dam and moved across the low land on the north side of the creek, through the grove of pawpaws.. Part of the debris came from a pile that had been just below the bridge. The dam includes a tree trunk that is now caught on an upright tree. If you go to the bridge and stand on the Olcott end and look downstream, you can see the debris dam.

Thanks for the report. We have been monitoring this log dam and noted that it "blew out" sometime during last week's rain and released the water it had been holding. We will continue to monitor and when conditions allow (less wet/muddy) we may remove the logjam to prevent future damming. Thank you!
