CautionThis trail
Calamity Brook Trail High Water Bridge is out.
The Calamity Brook Trail, starting at the Upper Works, is the main access to Flowed Lands, Lake Colden and hikes radiating from that basin. During extensive rain events or high water this trail may not be passable. Alternative routes will also have high water crossing challenges, including the two crossings of the Opalescent River on the East River Trail and the crossing of the Opalescent River on the Lake Arnold Trail before the junction with the Feldspar Trail. The Cold Brook Pass Trail between the Indian Pass Trail and Lake Colden has not been maintained by DEC in over a decade and is not a viable option for these conditions given water crossings on the Indian Pass Trail. DEC will be repairing the bridge in late fall 2026.
