Effective July 5, 2009: the shermanbranch.com website is winding down.

Please check tarheeltrailblazers.com for official park/gate status.

The weather, trail map, and pictures/videos pages will remain, for the time being.

The recorded phone messages are ceasing immediately.

Why? After more than 2 years of nearly daily park updates, I am relieving myself of all responsibilities to the park.

Thank you, and best wishes.
