Forward toad crossings predicted to be complete on 2021-04-11. On this day and the days beyond the forecast is cutoff arbitrarily because a certain number have been predicted for the season. This is just a guess. Click on the date(s) to get the raw prediction without the cutoff factored in. (There may still be toads returning to the woods from the resevoir.)

Click on a date for forecast details. Forecast is how many American Toads a fully staffed detour night would count in the two hours after sunset.

You are responsible for your own safety, especially in regards to automobiles and hazardous weather. Wear reflective clothing, carry flashlights/headlamps and use caution. Arrive well before sunset so that you do not run over the toads on your way to the detour!
