The main entrance/parking lot to Ashley on Rte 202 has been sealed off for over a year now. There is no room to even park along Rte 202. It was closed because of traffic issues. It’s a dangerous curve and the neighbors were complaining of the traffic. You have to go to the entrance before and either park at the Elks Club [allowed] or further down at the gate. The Elks trail is a bit closer to the cove near the main entrance, but still a good hike. Also, the roadside growth that the dragonflies/damselflies like hasn’t grown back yet. The WW departments mows it down every season to maintain good growth the following season and to stop it from growing rogue. I wouldn’t expect to see a slew of dragonflies until July/August or until the shrubs/wildflowers start growing.
