Paradise Area Trail Report – 02/28
PARADISE AREA UPDATE via Paradise Area Night Riders www.paradiseareanightriders.org >> 02/28 2/28/25 Groomer Keith hit the Pine Stump trails 8 and 9 yesterday/last night and called them good. Groomer Ben hit the Point trails 452 and 453 and called them good to go. Groomer Mike C. hit the south trail 8 and called that good also. I haven`t heard from the guy that hit the Falls trail 45 but I gotta assume that it is good to go too. We will hit every trail today again and for the weekend then see what happens with the temps. They are supposed to go up again in the beginning of the week for a few days. All trails are flat cause we can groom with the warmer temps but hard due to the temps turning colder. This snow sure will help with lubrication tho. The warmer weather the last few days did take a toll on the plowed connector dirt roads. They are down to mud….frozen mud now….so a little tough…but only very short distances. COME ON U.P.!!!!!! Time is runnin out!!!!! There is still A LOT of snow in the woods but It looks like March will be a cycle of warm/cold/warm/cold, so ya never know what will happen next.

Have a great week!
Ride safe, ride right! #newberry #snowphotos
10 degrees this morning and cloudy. Mother Nature FINALLY blessed us with a good dumping of snow! We have picked up a solid foot or more in the last 36 hrs. and its been COLD.
Following up from my last report......the tech did finally make it out and went through our computer problems on all 3 machines. 2 of them are up and runnin good now and we just got the parts we need for the third one and that will be good to go today. Now, on to whats been happinin with the trails......
Yesterday we took 2 machines with 4 guys but no drags and headed south on trail #8. We skipped the swamp just south of town and started at the river mouth. We ran across just some minor water holes at the south end of the power line and a touch more severe in the Federal Forest section. We kept the gates closed in the Federal Forest section to give that a chance to tighten up.
Tomorrow we are gonna send the same set up around the Point Trails #452 & #453. The other machine will hit the Pine Stump trail #8 doing a full groom. After we see how all that goes we will hit the Falls trail #45 hopefully by the end of the week. I`m sure ya`ll have seen we have a slight warm up coming this Tues. for a couple days so that will dictate what we do on the Falls trail and the Swamp south of town.
All I have for now Groomer Chris #paradise #newberry
Great job Paul
