#EveryDoor

There was a wooden bridge here _and_ a ford next to it. I don't know which was on which side any more.

New building under construction, don't know the exact outline

Someone with some time in the area should go check out this path and the others in this forest. I tried to pass by during a run, coming from the north side, and found the path just ended in wilderness.

It seems the paths have changed a little in this area, some have been reclaimed by nature with persistent mini-ponds. I used to avoid it in fall-winter due to muddiness, but now it was even overflown in August 2024 when I ran by. Some other informal paths seem to have come into existence from people trying to push their way through on other sides. Would need a proper GPS survey (and decision whether it is a one summer flooding kind of thing or the new normal on that path), but I cannot do it due to not living in the area any more.

You can (and everyone does) wade through the water here, it got maybe knee deep in the right spot (March 2025). I would add a ford, but then I feel I would need to add a foot path along much more of the beach. Unsure on the best course of action.

This forest does not reach the edge of the water, there is a sandy beach between. I dont want to go into disentangling that in id/rapid.

A trail (or more?) starts around here. Strava heatmap does not have the information yet, it was opened earlier this year (2024). Needs survey or waiting for the heatmap to update. I think I can sorta make it out on aerial, but want to be sure.
