Has anyone been through Deam lake SRA since the tornados went through on March 2nd? By the looks of the storm path, there must be significant damage there. Just wondering if anyone has seen firsthand, and just how bad the damage is.

I haven't been yet, but there are some photos on the Pekin Saddle Club website, and it looks pretty bad. The trails near there and Jackson Rd are closed, but I've heard the south trails around Deam Lake area are open.

I rode at Deam Lake today. Did the Dry Fork loop and the blue trail to back around by camp. Those trails were all clear, though we did see several recently cut up trees on the sides of the trails, but not too bad. Footing was good, despite rain yesterday.

Where exactly is the Mountain Grove Loop? I found Jackson Rd. on the map, and have been looking at the Indiana DNR Trails Inventory map. Is this the loop that goes around the area around Pekin Saddle Club?

Ok, I figured out why I couldn't find it. The DNR Trails Inventory map doesn't show the section between Jackson Road and the eastern part of the Mountain Grove Loop. It doesn't show that section as active, but if you zoom in on the picture (satalite image) you can see the trail. Not sure why its not marked on the map. Did they "close" it?
