Conditions as of Thursday, June 18, 2009:
All-terrain Vehicle (ATV) Trails
The Black River area received a considerable amount of rain this week. Trails are in fair condition with some wetter areas to be expected. Remember to stay on trails at all times. A section of trail from Campground Road to the Clay School Parking Lot is closed due to several areas with excessive water covering the trail and damage due to heavy ridership on Memorial Day Weekend. The extra rain this week has delayed the re opening of this section.
During this time of closure a temporary bypass route has been authorized with the Town of Komensky. Riders can travel north on Campground Road up to Clay School Road where they will turn west and meet up with the current ATV route. Please use the utmost respect while driving on this temporary route. Stay on the road at all times and be mindful of speed.
A 2.2-mile portion of the trail from Highway 54 to Bartos road is undergoing rehabilitation this spring. This section is open for weekend riding by 4 p.m. each Friday. While this section is closed we encourage people who want to ride up to Hatfield or to City Point to use our Clay School Road parking lot. Ride with caution on this stretch during the weekends as you may encounter rough areas due to the construction. We hope to have this section completed by the end of June next week and then to begin work on the stretch just south of Highway 54.
This project will protect the long term sustainability of the trail system and lessen the frequency of trail closings due to large rainfalls.
Memorial Day weekend there were eight ATV accidents in the Jackson and Clark County area including one fatal accident.
