Access and permits
Before you go
South Cotabato reports an April 14 tourism suspension; an April 20 journalist report claims EO31 reopening but original municipal order was not located. Confirm current Lake Holon conditions; do not keep April closure current or promote weak reopening claim as verified.
Arrange with: Local tourism office and protected-area office for the intended approach

Trails
| Trail | Jump-off | Effort | Technical | Distance | Time |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|

Effort (1-9) is computed from distance, ascent and terrain; technical (A-E) follows the trail class, from a clear path (A) to real climbing (E). Elevations, grades and trail data are indicative - always verify with the LGU / DENR before a climb. Routes come from OpenStreetMap and can be partial or outdated; a mapped line does not prove a safe or open path.
