People attempting the Wallace Lake / Wallace Falls loop should be aware that, as of Saturday Nov. 15, a significant stretch of the section linking Wallace Lake and Upper Wallace Falls is under a foot or more of water. A beaver dam is likely to be the culprit (a number of trees, including some conifers, were sticking out of the sizable "lake", indicating that it is not a normal feature), possibly in combination with the heavy rains of last week. Perhaps in a few more days enough water will drain to make the trail normally passable again; perhaps not.
Much nearer to Wallace Lake in this same segment, a small bridge has been washed perhaps 10 feet off its foundations - just a nuisance at present.
Greg Ball trail is in good shape, but there are a couple of impressive mudholes on the last half-mile of old road connecting its upper end to Wallace Lake.
