*Please note - The Saunders Grade Traill will be closed for the entire 2018/2019 winter season due to significant damage caused by June 2018 flooding.*

The Clubs are actively working on preparing all winter trails for opening.  The trails need to be inspected for safe frozen conditions in wet areas, removal of any deadfalls, and proper signage before opening.  Currently, all trails have limited snowfall, but ice is forming in wet areas which help with trail openings. 

Currently, the Wild Rivers, Gandy Dancer, and Tri-County Corridor, trails are open for ATV/UTV traffic. Trails 217, and Trail 41 are also partially open for ATV/UTV traffic.
