Trail Updates
As of 6/19/25, the Pierson Valley Hiking Trails are closed for the day due to trail conditions and high water levels. The North Corning Stairway should reopen tomorrow, 6/20/25.
Hikers have the option of an out-and-back experience, or a loop through the north portion of Tree Hugger, Piney Woods Link, and Headwaters Trails (about a 2-hour hike). Be prepared for a rugged hike, particularly after rainy weather – and remember to bring your water bottle!
As of 6/17/2025, high water levels have pushed debris into the creek crossing at the bottom of the North Corning Stairway – please use caution in this area.
