Does anyone know what the condition of Lillydale Road is like these days? Last time I tried to bike on it, it was about 2 feet underwater. Is it bikeable from Hwy 13 / the Yacht Club to St. Paul?

Many thanks!

It's in good shape. I rode through there with the 3-speeders about 2 weeks ago. The trail parallel to Lillydale road has some sand on it but the road is fine.

I don't know if you mean the trail right next to the road or the one that goes through the woods that's over west of the road.
The one in the woods is great, till you get the most of the way through it.
First there is a tree down, and you can see everyone has been riding through the grass around it, not problem.
Then there is flood where you can see people have been riding around, it looks like a mountain bike trail- I walked my bike (road bike) over that part and kept going. Then there are two areas of gravel, which you can ride over. Finally you come to a swamp that must be 100 feet across, and no clear way to go around it. I went back up the trail and pulled out my GPS. There is a field you can cut across to get on the road, the grass isn't even too high (I would still look for hitchhikers after) Can we get a warning sign this trail is closed? (and by this I mean should I go put one there?)
There isn't one sign or barrier along the way...
