Trail Conditions: Early Season
Snow Cover: 12-14"
Date of Report: December 26, 2022
Area Report:
Trails are in excellent shape. Not all the lakes are marked yet, so remember, if it isn’t marked, it isn’t safe to cross yet. Pioneer Lake near Maple View has been marked.
Trails are smooth, corners are icy as usual with early season riding. You may encounter a tree down on a trail, so ride right, ride safe.

Trail boss Chad just reported this afternoon that he has made it through the swamp in the cemetery trail. At this time, it will remain closed until it can be panned and groomed (Intersection 723-724 south to Intersection 725). The rest of the trail is open from Monheim Rd (Intersection 728) south to Church Rd (Intersection 727) where you can access Pioneer Lake across to the boat landing off of Chicago Ave (Intersection 748).
