Even thru it got damaged by the flood, you can still hike there. You can get pass the gate, on the left .Still lots of hikers and mountain biker's out there. It is just closed for car traffic. I did  hike there almost every Sunday till July to it just  got to hot and my dog refused to walk anymore. There is a one trail what has lots of shade but  just a  nice walking trail, just not very difficult, all flat.
