Ashland Lakes — Wednesday, May. 29, 2024

Road up to trailhead is narrow and full of large potholes which were doable in a truck. Lots of little waterfalls alongside the road. Toilet at the trailhead closed. Trail was a bit muddy with a few downed trees but the real problem was multiple sections of the boardwalk being submerged. A few sections we were able to walk through 4 inches of water or so in waterproof boots but at least one section on the north side of upper Ashland lake was completely gone. We did not see the trail that loops around the south side of upper Ashland lake so we came back on the north side. Would be beautiful to come back during the summer!
