Construction has begun:

I just received this e-mail message from Deborah Walker at UNF.

Just to let your group know that we have closed down Falls Dam Trail for a
few months to get the parking lots constructed. You will have to loop back
around from Wolfden or Dickey Bell. Hope to have the work completed by the
time trails open in the spring.

In a later e-mail today she also stated that dedication letters will be going out to Art's family tomorrow.  8)

Hey all, I was searching for some info on this (Art Lilly) camping area and found this thread.    Is there some updated information on the camping area ?  I'd like to understand the layout and any restrictions before I decided to camp up there.  Primitive ?  Suitable for truck campers or self contained?  Outhouse ? 

A map or some pics would be great.

Anyone with some links or more info please update this sticky

Thanks!

The last thing I was told was that for now it would be a user defined primitive area .

No outhouses yet.

The outhouses are installed and the place looks nice with 2 large parking areas
