Trail Updates
Please be cautious of a yellow jacket nest on Headwaters Trails near the T2 marker. (7/10/26)
All trails in the Pierson Valley System are open!
Additionally, be cautious of muddy terrain and intermittent high water at Pierson’s Creek. Please stop by or call the Corning Visitor Center for the most up-to-date information.
When coming across muddy conditions, remember to walk through, not around. It’s a little messier, but this keeps our trails safe from erosion and protects the nearby environment. And remember to bring your water bottle!
