Trail Conditions: Fair
Snow Cover: 3-6
Date of Report: January 30, 2025
Area Report:
Conditions are variable throughout the county ranging from Poor to Good.
The warm temps this week have really deteriorated trails that were previously in Fair condition. Trail conditions vary drastically throughout the county. Snow is more plentiful in the north; the more inland you go, the more snow there is.
Dual use trails: we ask that AVT/UTV’s do not travel on groomed trails when the temps are above or around freezing. Ruts left in the trail in these low snow conditions will be near impossible to remove. Please use good judgment when out riding your ATV/UTV in these conditions.
Trail closures: Closures in Drummond and White River areas are due to low snow conditions and private property concerns. Do not go around “Trail closed” signs.
