It is critical that we respect the landowners who allow us to use their property... please review the information below carefully before trail riding and confirm that you are using open trails. Please note that on certain trails only segments of that trail may be open at this time. We anticipate frequent updates as the clubs report in with trails they have checked. In all areas where the winter recreational trails are closed the clubs are actively working on the getting the trails open. Ice conditions – Wisconsin DNR website provides general and safety information about ice conditions: http://dnr.wi.gov/topic/outdoorrecreation/activities/icesafety.html NW QUADRANT The Crosstown Trail is temporarily closed from the Tower Avenue crossing eastward to the Tri- County Corridor in order to protect the base at the golf course and by the tank farm.

This trail segment (Warming Shack to the Milchesky Road)remains closed at this time. Trail 4 -41 from Milchesky road south to warming shack is still closed due to 1/4 mile swamp not yet froze enough Trail 41,4 ,43 ,2,66 0,28, open and reports are they are in good shape Road routes are fair to poor but passable No grooming is being done unless we get a goodly amount of snow With the weather report our short season will be drawing to a close NE QUADRANT Monday, February 29, 2016 BE VERY CAUTIOUS OF ICY CORNERS AND HILLS.

JPR UPDATE – Grooming has been suspended due to a combination of lack of snow in areas, icy trail base conditions, and 1 groomer being out of service due to mechanical issues. Trails are in poor condition with significant rutting caused by the trail base softening last weekend during the 50+ degree weather and then re-freezing. SW QUADRANT Trail 9 from Town Road TT north to the Trail 9/Trail 935 intersection is closed due to a water hazard where a groomer broke through the ice. ---PAGE BREAK--- Douglas County - trail 5, 935 open, fair to good condition - swamps in open areas may be a bit mushy So hoping the trails hold up until Saturday - Cozy Corner Trails 41st Annual Booya is Saturday, March 5, noon- 5, Hillside Inn The frozen ground ATV/UTV trails on the Burnett County end (118,925,118) seem to have held up remarkably well, considering the warm temps on Saturday.
