Trail Conditions: Early Season
Snow Cover: 3-5"
Date of Report: January 23, 2025
Area Report:
Went out today and put 60 miles on the sled, mostly around Conover. The trails have a minimal amount of snow on them. Some corners are blown out and down to bare ground. I would rate all the trails as fair. There is some good areas out there, tend to be the lesser traveled sections. Both groomers set out Thursday night to see if there is anything they can do to bring some snow from edges into the middles. I rode another area trail that was groomed Wednesday night. When they went off to grab snow on the edges, they also snagged tree branches, rocks and what ever else was along those edges. So ride with caution as there may be debris left on the trail after they go by. Area lakes are marked, please stay by the barrels when crossing. The ice heave on North Twin Lake seems to have gone down. I rode from the Lakota boat launch by Dublin’s across to Phelps and didn’t see anything. There is an ice heave on Buckatabon between Lower and Upper near Deer Path Resort. There is a chance of snow showers Friday into Saturday. I’ll report back what we get out of that.
News and Reports:
Trail 12 from the RR grade TIN 732 to County K TIN 731 has ruts from ATVs. There isn’t enough snow to fill the ruts. We put signs at each end of the trail for Caution Next 1 mile and Rough Trail. Use caution when traveling this area.
The Cemetery Trail from TIN 724 to TIN 725, and south to TIN 727 at Church Rd is thin for snow cover. You will find a few bare spots, There is a hill between TIN 725 and TIN 726 at Lindberg Rd that was bare from sleds going up it. The swamp area did freeze up, so it is good to go.
