if wweek is to be believed, Eagle Creek exit opened again for the trail and campground, and a day later the trail closed because of a landslide - 25 feet of trail covered, no word when it will be cleared
From the phot it looks like you could walk across the slide. The Forest Service probably doesn't want you to.

Re: eagle creek opened, then closed again
According to a Facebook post, it appears that trail crews have cleared the slide and it is now open.
Re: eagle creek opened, then closed again
I camped about 7 miles in last night. The upper valley suffered widespread high intensity burn. Brush and black sticks now. And there are fewer sites now, I got there at 1pm on a Tuesday and got the last site in the upper canyon, though that was partly because there was a trail crew filling most of 7.5 mile camp.
I was told by somebody who made it to Wahtum Lake that snow started at about 10.5 miles, which would be just beyond the Indian Springs junction I think, quite a ways from the lake still. There is also a lot of blowdown beyond the lookout corner, which the PCTAers called Inspiration Point.
