*CAUTION WE HAVE A GROOMER THAT HAS BROKEN DOWN ON THE TRAIL HEADING TO TROUT LAKE NEAR H40 AND THE RAILROAD TRACKS *

All trails are in fair to good condition. There are some thin spots on the trails due to lack of recent snowfall but hopefully mother nature will bless us with snow this weekend. We did get about 2 inches of snow overnight. Please be aware that there are logging trucks out on some roads and that Hog Island Road is being ploughed for the trucks.
