The field guide instructions for the Paradise Park TH need to be updated. The directions conclude with:
"Drive 0.2 miles, crossing the Zigzag River and bearing right into the former Twin Bridges Campground to find a parking space near the trailhead."
The access road described above is now permanently gated shut about 150 feet from Road 39 (aka Kiwanis Camp Rd). You park near the road and walk across the Zigzag River to the trailhead.

This isn't quite right. You should omit the phrase: "up the Kiwanis Camp Road". That is just another name for Road 39. What you'll actually be walking on is the old access road to the Twin Bridges campground, but that won't be necessary to mention. The gate and the bridge over the river are so obvious from the parking area that they are all that need to be mentioned to get people to the old trailhead.

Re: Paradise Park TH
okay, I tried again, how's that?
Re: Paradise Park TH
That ought to be adequate. I guess if it isn't someone will point out its deficiencies.
