When I was up in the whites last week, I checked out what was left of the Pine Island Trail. I definitely WOULD NOT recommend hiking along it, because there are parts of it that are gone. After going thru a bunch of my pictures, I found some comparison shots, so I thought I'd share some of them below.
I just put this together showing how nasty the conditions are. I ended up having to bushwhack along the river's edge and it was very rough going...then I just whacked back to the East Side trail because I completely lost the trail.

now the comparing begins
Right here, the trail USED to be on the right...
The trail reappears
Some more comparing
One more
Some more shots...check out that flood damage
views are so much more open now
