Willow Spring Figueroa Trail Survey - 05-22-2023 - by EC DUZ IT

Link:	Willow Spring Figueroa Trail
Date:	05-22-2023
Surveyor Name:	EC DUZ IT
Trail description:	I didn't make it very far up this trail, so it is possible the upper part of this trail is better. There are "Tunnels" of chaparral that were pushed into the trail by the snow we got back in late February. Would be easier to pass through on foot than on a bike. Lots of poison oak encroaching into the the trail too.  This trail was so good last year in November, and now it needs work.
Mode of transport:	Bicycle
Trail condition:	Needs some work

Trail description:	The LPFA completely brushed and reworked the Willow Spring Trail in 2022. Lots of poison oak removed, lots of downed trees cleared, lots of dirt moved, lots of hot days. The trail was really REALLY overgrown, even hard to follow in spots.  Enjoy the Willow and Willow Spur NOW before they get overgrown again! Have at it.....

Trail description:	Rode this trail downhill to Davy Brown Campground from the Willow Spur Trail.  Our kids also played in the small swimming holes.  What a fun shred this trail is!  Water is flowing in the creek, and the fall colors are very beautiful. My friend and I were able to move the one small tree that was blocking the trail towards the bottom.  Trail is in excellent shape and there really is not much work needed on this trail at this point in time.

Willow Spring Figueroa Trail Survey - 05-02-2020 - by Antonio Calderon

Surveyor Name:	Antonio Calderon
Trail description:	Decided to to hit the willow spur trail on our way back down from Figueroa mt rd. First half mile or so is open with awesome views. The rest of the trail to Davy brown junction is packed with poison oak on both sides of trail with some overhanging leaves. Took my shears to cut away in some really bad sections where poison oak was not avoidable. Several down trees along the trail.Â

Willow Spring Figueroa Trail Survey - 01-27-2020 - by Tony G.

Link:	Willow Spring Figueroa Trail
Date:	01-27-2020
Surveyor Name:	Tony G.
Trail description:	Hiked this trail from the Davey Brown trail to the Willow Spur trail up to Catway Road. The trail doesn't get much use but is in surprisingly good shape. The tread is narrow but is mainly clear at this time of the year. As soon as the poison oak leafs out it will be a different story. Only a few dead falls but they are passable. Plenty of ticks though. 2/3rds up the trail there is a brushy section that goes for several hundred yards that is thick and could use some serious pruning

Willow Spring Figueroa Trail Survey - 12-31-2017 - by Valerie Norton

Link:	Willow Spring Figueroa Trail
Date:	12-31-2017
Surveyor Name:	Valerie Norton
Trail description:	Hiked it down from Figueroa Mountain. I think it has lost a few switchbacks. At least. There are a couple trees down, one quite large, but the others could be taken out by a bigboy. Handy signs on both sides, but the junction with the spur does not have a nice iron sign. Tread is nice enough if a bit narrow. The bottom portion seems more like a use trail than a built trail.
Mode of transport:	Hike
Trail condition:	Good shape and easy to follow
Images:	Tree across the trail just above the junction with the spur. I think there's some folks who like to come up to these rocks.
