Most trails are in fair to good condition at this point, but watch for water in places. Grooming is being done! There is a section on the south loop of the Johannesburg trail just south of Old State Road that washed out and is currently taped off. A culvert will be going into this section to eliminate future water issues. Please use caution riding past this area, but it should be fixed quickly.

FREDERIC / GAYLORD AREA UPDATE via Sledheads of Frederic –

New snow overnight amounted to about 1.5 inch of new white fluff so not to much to get excited about. Sleds are out and about but not alot of them. Have had a few ride into here this morning. I think it will be a decent weekend but of course we could use more snow. Temps are supposed to be in 30s and even 40. Right now its noon thirty and 38 degrees. At least there is no sun. Photo below is from our ride the other day of John, Jamie and I at the Sledview.com camera. Someone that was watching us on the camera took the pic and sent it to us. Thanks for checking in. Pete

We continue to receive an inch or so of snow every other day since last week.
WARNINGS AND NOTICES: We are begging riders to ride off trail legally as there are 1-million acres of public land east of Wakefield to off trail ride on – please only ride legal areas! The Ottawa National Forest is 990,000 acres and much of it open to cross-country riding (no trail/road) if there is 6″ or more of snow.
