You will be welcome, hope you heal quickly.

Which bridge are y'all talking about? The entrance over the river or the one at the back of the parking lot? How is the fish hatchery doing??????

Neither of those two bridges
Washed out bridge was a wooden footbridge that used to cross a creek 1/3 mile up Cat Gap Loop from parking lot.
If if if footbridge has not been replaced, using hiking poles for balance, cross creek on stepping stones.

After hard rain, stepping stones are submerged and you might wade across creek.

I might have to come up on Thursday for an overnight with my son and dog.

Seems like every time I try to do this hang something takes over my schedule.

Hope you guys have a great time!
Mental note: Block out the entire month of July in 2024.

So, I am assuming that the only bridge out between the trailhead and the campsite is the one at Cedar Creek before going up the hill about a 1/3 mile in.
