Probably, a better question than is it closed, would be to ask: Is it being used by people walking along the trail, there, who park out back of the Meredith Village Saving Bank and go walk the 3/4-mile trail, or 1.5-miles, out and back, there, for a great place to take a stroll with nature, all around.

Walking the trail it's usual to see people with canes, walkers, wheelchairs, young children with parents, older folks, all types of people who are simply out for a walk.
Back in May, the trail was seriously closed with a large sheet of plywood blocking the entrance, and orange warning signs. That was when it was still under construction by
www.timberandstonellc.com from Vermont.
Now, it's closed with a sign strung across the entry that is easily crawled or duck-walked under ..... so, it's no big deal ...... quack-quack-quack ..... and, yeah ..... closed or not closed ..... it's getting used by people out for a walk .... especially since the big Christmas day rain washed all the snow away.
