Black River State Forest Conditions - Conditions as of Monday, August 31, 2009:

All-terrain Vehicle (ATV) Trails

The section of ATV trail from Campground road to the Clay School Parking lot is temporarily closed again due to excessive water on the trails and riders going off trail to avoid these sections. During this time of closure a temporary route has been authorized with the Town of Komensky. Please ride with the utmost respect on this new route. You must stay on the roadway at all times and be mindful of speed.

Work is complete on upgrading the wetland crossings on a 1.1-mile section of trail from Wildcat Road heading west. There is some top dressing to be done on the crossings but this work will be done the week after the trails close for the season. As soon as we receive the necessary wetland permits we will begin work on the section that is now temporarily closed.

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.

The entire trail system has been groomed within the last two weeks and trails are in good condition.
