Major trail closures. Please do not use the west side of the network, see the map. Tens of thousands of toads are dispersing in all directions west and south of Allen Lake. SoBo No Michi is now closed, Sykes Bridge area is teaming, Perseverance Creek is also extremely busy with migration. The south side of Alan Lake is also covered with toads. We have closed all access via Davis lake main to Perseverance Creek, the Potholes, Sobo No Michi etc. All trails that come down the west side back to Perseverance area are closed. Please do not go into that zone for the next few days. Hopefully we will be clear to roll by the weekend.
Please respect all signage at the trail access points and in the CRI car park, informing you of up-to-date information of trail closures and the migration routes.
Please share and reshare.

July 20th toad update: the bottom section of the climbing trail is seeing quantities of toads which means we’re temporarily closing that section. Trail users please stay on the Davis lake main and go up the 3 pitches road to rejoin the climbing trail at the first road crossing.

See this little thing? It’s a western toad, and gazillions of them are hopping around the network, especially most trails close to Allen Lake. Today’s update and closed trails are: Teapot, That Dam Trail, Lower Slick Rock, Off Broadway, Broadway, Steam Donkey, the Guts Road upto Haybales.
Sobo No Michi remains open. Toad highways have been constructed between bottom, Vanilla, and Trestle. Please avoid or proceed with caution around that area, maybe even get off bikes and cautiously walk through that zone. There are multiple toads spilling out in many directions in that complex area! We’re installing more toad fencing in the next day/s to capture the overspill.
There is more fencing erected around Perseverance creek area near the Potholes and climbing trail. The main body of the largest migration is very close to moving through. Please keep dogs under control when passing through that area. Off leash dogs often jump over or knock down or damage, the fencing.
The three active migrations this year are keeping us on our toes, and it’s busy out there! Please share, please use word of mouth. Please respect all, and toad related signage within the network. Please avoid all closed trails and plan to enjoy other sections of the network.
Thankyou for your attention to this.
