Annual winter closure
Trails are closed to ATVs annually from November 1 to May 15 each year to prevent damage to the trails due to wet weather conditions from rain, snow, and freeze/thaw cycles. Using ATVs on the trails during this sensitive period can cause significant rutting and soil displacement which can intensify erosion. Thank you for keeping the trails safe and sustainable!
