(WTAQ-WLUK) — Some motorized trails are now open in the Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest.
Trails in Florence, Forest, Langlade, Oconto, Oneida, Taylor, and Vilas counties are open while trails in Ashland, Bayfield, Price, and Sawyer counties will remain closed until May 25 due to weather-related safety concerns.
“Based on careful assessments this week, it was determined that motorized trails in some counties can be open now that the tread is dry and firm,” said USDA Forest Service Recreation Program Manager Karen Katz. “Trails in Forest, Langlade, and Oconto counties were cleared by USDA FS and partners in April, and now that the tread is dry, they are ready to ride.”
While some small trees are down on trails in Florence county, trails are passable.
Updates on the trail conditions are available online.
