It is closed, and will remain so until the area drys up a bit.
The FS posted June 1, that trail never stays closed that long.
Last word we had with the FS is they will reopen the gates after a few weeks of dry Wx.
I hiked it, it's pretty tore up. My local club is planning the maint. run for it's reopening, with any luck, before the end of April.

PS: BC109 is about the only thing in runable condition in the Lockwood valley.
The Old Ridge Route is open, along with most of the various routes there. This area is on the opposite side of the 5, just off the 138.
