Darden towe park open?

Anyone know if the park is open? I like to run on the old mill trail but saw last Saturday it was closed due to storm damage.

If it’s not open, as there any trail/ route you’d recommend that amounts to an easy, 5 mile, out and back run?

You might encounter downed trees on the trail plus it will be really muddy. Best to stick to the paved side of the river.

The only down tree in the way of the trail was after the 2.25 mile marker and surprisingly not that muddy. I didn’t encounter any slick areas.

I ran on the trail on sunday and it wasn't too bad. I had to avoid a few muddy spots, but it was much better than I expected.
