Ok, so I'm replying to my own post. Rode there on Memorial Day. From the West parking lot, the first trail to the left shortly after you go through the gate, was open, but probably shouldn't have been. We didn't ride it, but a guy leaving said we shouldn't ride it because it was really wet and sloppy. A little further down the trail was posted as closed so you have to ride the trail uphill next to the fence to get to one of the upper sections. All the rest of the trails were dry. Even the lower back section that takes you to the short loop and long loop was dry. After we left it may have rained, but some areas of Rochester stayed dry.

Sorry, I didn't see this posting in time... We had 8 people help out at the Gamehaven Trail Maintenance session Wed May 31st! The reservoir parking lot connector from the parking lot to the bridge was trimmed and raked off. The sun and wind will be able to dry the trail out faster now after a rain. There wasn't any significant mud on the trail--it's in great shape! I think the person talking about mud on the connector trail between the reservoir parking lot and the bridge didn't take the re-route around the big mud hole. Someone keeps removing the small branches off that section that were meant to keep people out of the mud and lead people onto the new section. We'll make this more permanent. FYI. The Facebook page is at www.facebook.com/RASCmtb/If anyone is interested in maintaining the trails and/or trailbuilding this summer, please message the Facebook page with your email address. Alternatively, email MTBer1977@yahoo.com. Also, we have the most up to date maps for Gamehaven and Eastwood on TrailForks, and you can follow your progress on the trail on your smartphone with their app. Bill
