I met up with a friend for a post-Thanksgiving hike on this trail since they had never been to the Middlefork area before. We hiked from the second lot, including the connector trail - the mountain/river views from that section were fogged in when we started but clear on the return trip. It was more crowded than I was expecting today, even for a holiday Friday (got the last spot in the larger parking lot at 10am), but the weather was gorgeous so I’m glad people were getting outside. Lots of families, dogs, and kids on the trail.
There were two trees down across the trail, one shin-high at the lowest end and the other about knee high. Both were fairly simple for mobile adults to step over but since this trail sees a variety of users I wanted to mention them. Other than that the trail was in great shape, and not much mud or any standing water even after all the recent rain.
Restrooms were open and stocked, and trash was being picked up as we were leaving. The door for the toilet on the right side does not lock but the lock on the other one was functional.
