The CCC Road: Blowout Creek Trailhead currently presents a mixed condition with several obstacles reported. As of June 15, hikers encountered multiple blowdowns that required climbing over, and some areas of the trail were brushy. There were also numerous small creek crossings, with one report noting a slippery incident on a larger creek crossing. A significant washout near the Wise Creek bridge was noted as easy to cross after placing stepping rocks as of April 17, but a more extensive debris field and tree over the trail were reported near the East Fork of Wise Creek as of March 31. Road access to the trailhead appears to be clear from the Bessemer Road portion as of April 17.

Reports from March 31 and June 15 indicate numerous blowdowns requiring hikers to climb over them, and brushy sections further in. As of June 15, the trail crosses many small creeks, and one larger crossing can be slippery. A significant washout with a tree over the trail was noted near the East Fork of Wise Creek on March 31.
As of March 31, a new DNR foot bridge was noted near the wide area on Bessemer Road, and another steel tube truss bridge was seen over Blowout Creek. There is a second large bridge over a major crossing reported as of June 15. Concerns were raised about the need for additional bridges on forks of Wise Creek, where gulley washers have deposited debris.
