The area experienced unseasonably warm temperatures and rain over the weekend which reduced the trail base in areas and caused icy conditions now that the temperatures have dropped once again. The clubs continue to work on hanging limbs and bent saplings from the winter strom two weeks ago. Please use caution on all trails.
