Thanks for the heads up. At least this means it can still be run as an out n back from Swords Rd.
By the way, there is a boat launch into West Bear Lake and there is often a portable toilet there - rarely used!
It's right at the bottom of Beach St:
It looks like 518 is open with one lane through the work zone

Anyone been up to the 518 recently? I was going to head up there tomorrow.
Google Maps won't allow the route to pass through Seguin Falls, but news reports indicate it's one lane (possibly completely fixed by now) and open for traffic in both directions.

Awesome thanks!!
The 518 was in great shape today. They were still doing bridge work near Seguin and that was controlled by a short traffic light for the lane reduction.
