Temporary OHV Park Closings
The Iowa Department of Natural Resources would like to remind riders to check the website to determine if individual OHV parks are open or closed before they make the trip to the areas. All OHV park closings will be posted on the website, otherwise the park should be assumed open. During the spring, it is common for the Department to close the parks if the trails are too wet, creating maintenance or safety concerns.
Riders are encouraged to use extra caution when operating in the parks this time of year. It is common for trails to have debris, ruts, or unforeseen conditions following a long winter season. Trail crews will need extra time to bring the areas up to normal riding conditions. Please stay on marked trails and follow all posted signs.
Bayfield County, Wisconsin Trails
A Spring Closure will go into effect starting Saturday, March 15th for ATV traffic on all Bayfield County, Wisconsin trails. This will help deter damage to the trails which can be costly and difficult to repair. The Tri-County Corridor and Road Routes will remain open for ATV use during this time. Weather permitting; the trails are scheduled to reopen for ATV use on May 1st, 2008.
For further information, contact the Bayfield County Tourism & Recreation office at (800) 472-6338 or info@travelbayfieldcounty.com.
