Given the summer-long drought followed by this morning's downpour....what are the conditions likely to be at Bangert Island tomorrow?  Muddy?  Closed?  Where could I go to find out before we drive over there tomorrow?

It's pretty sandy out there right now, but certainly rideable. It's unlikely that this morning's rain has, in any significant way, affected any of the local trails, given how "thirsty" the ground is.

The trail is fine but like josh said it is SANDY.  The whole part by the river is tough to ride

Just out there Sunday.  Didn't find it all that sandy, just a few, mostly short, spots.  Rest of the trail is great.
