This is the status of Adirondack facilities as of August 29, 2011.
Latest Updates Here: Adirondack Trail Information
TRAIL ADVISORY: Hurricane Irene has created dangerous conditions across most of the Eastern Adirondacks including flooding, bridge wash outs, trail wash outs and blow down of trees and other debris. Back country travel is difficult, if not impossible, throughout much of the backcountry of the Eastern Adirondacks.

Plan accordingly and be prepared to turn back when conditions warrant.
