Anyone have any info on sections of either of those trails that are out due to flooding?

I was out on the length of the North Branch Trail on Saturday, and there were no problems at all.

I'm sure the DPRT is under water where is goes under the roads. I don't know about the other low sections. The river is going down. I'll put out an email to the Lake County list. - TF

The answering riders say that the DPRT is under water anywhere it gets near the river. Looks like you would be spending most of your time trying to get around it. - TF

The North Branch Trail is currently dry throughout.
