Yes. It was a good one this year. The park got hit pretty hard from ida. A few tornadoes went through. Took out a lot of the disc golf course and the bird sanctuary area. They didn’t open the park until the Sunday before. I couldn’t get to my campsite in the lake (by the building and bathroom by hippy road) until Tuesday. There’s still trees down all over the place they have a lot of clearing dead limbs and trees before Hulaween. You can’t get on any of the trails/paths along the river or through the woods. The bright side is when the cleanup all is said and done there are hundreds of acres of newly cleared areas for primitive camping. That will definitely help spread everyone out during the larger festivals. One sad note is several trees fell in the amphitheater, including my favorite hammock trees I’d rope off early. It cut down a bit on the shade when down in front. There’s not really any way to put new trees in there. Young saplings would get trampled at night, and it’s too rocky to transplant a larger tree- I would think….
