Black River State Forest Conditions

All ATV trails are closed until Monday, December 15. Trails are being repaired and prepared for the winter season. Four wetland crossings are being upgraded, including the installation of new culverts, raising the level of the trail, and putting down an aggregate surface. The purpose of these repairs is to make the trails easier to maintain, reduce environmental impact, and to reduce the impact of large rainstorms on the trails. Over the next few years we hope to upgrade all wetland crossings.

During this time of closure we also groom the trails to as smooth of a condition as possible.


Great, just what we need, trails that are less like trails and more like roads. Soon we won't need trails at all, we have lots of roads to ride on.
