I am having trouble finding out the condition of this trail and the % at which it is completed. Has anyone hiked a large portion of it? If people could copy the list below and give either a 100% completed or not completed under it I would appreciate it.

They might be hit-or-miss. I have found and printed out topo maps for some sections I've hiked. They are buried in the descriptions for each section, if they exist for that section.

Laurel-Snow is a nice area. Unfortunately a bridge is down and Bobby Fulcher said that there are no current plans to rebuild or repair the bridge. As far as he is concerned the Laurel-Snow area is closed beyond the bridge. All of that stems from a feud between the TTA and the CTC. A lot of folks think the Cumberland Trail will never be finished.
