Hourly canoe rentals remain CLOSED. Canoe rentals are available for canoe-in campers only for 24-hour rentals.

Lassiter Trail has been rerouted. The trail begins at the Visitor Center and is a distance of 7 miles. The current maps are not an accurate representation of the trail. Please follow the White circle blazes posted along the trail. There are times that the bicycle trail and Lassiter trail run together. The bicycle trail is blazed with Red Triangles. Bikes are only allowed on sections of trail that are blazed with Red Triangles. Bikers must announce their presence, make sure the hikers see them, and slow down while passing hikers.
