Black River State Forest Conditions as of Monday, July 27, 2009

All-terrain Vehicle (ATV) Trails

Work has begun on upgrading the wetland crossings on a 1.1-mile section of trail from Wildcat Road heading west (see map [PDF, 568KB]). For this week this section of trail will be open while we haul material in. Please drive cautiously on this section of trail. Starting August 3 this section of trail will be closed during the week for construction. The trail will open by 4 p.m. Friday, August 7, for weekend riding. We expect this work to take 2 to 3 weeks.

An example of a recently upgraded section of trail can be found North of the Highway 54 parking lot to Bartos road. These projects will protect the long term sustainability of the trail system and lessen the frequency of trail closings due to large rainfalls. Over the course of the next two years we hope to upgrade all wetland crossings on the property.
