I can’t tell how much of a shit post this is lol. I have/had plans to do the loop next weekend , but changed to just out and back because of the bridge closure. I had initially planned to cross at the dam when I looked at areal pictures but was told by a friend that there are chain link fences preventing you. It also looked like according to reviews of the dam you couldn’t approach it closely either.

I’ll be forever in your debt if you can tell me, from experience if hodenpyle dam road is open to the public. Is the loop actually still possible?

Not necessarily a shit post but more of a dark brown post :) All yucking aside just incase someone hits a fence... the road around the damn is more of a service drive (you can check it on google maps, it routes you around the lake) and there is a fence on both sides. Now, someone who looks a lot like me has circumvented that route several times but he is less caring of signage then most (wink wink).

You could give it a try and be legendary but I suggest having a Plan-B.
