Note: Severe thunderstorms and wind events that occurred recently have caused many state forest two tracks and hunter walking trails to be impassable. Two GEMS locations hit especially hard were the Mark Knee Memorial, and Lame Duck. We are working as quickly as we can to remedy the situation and your patience is appreciated.
