Moderator's Note:
While this News Release is directed at a specific site, it does
highlight a very important point that we need to consider.
Each year, recreationists are tagged with the label of "resource
destruction" when tire tracks are left in wet areas. We have lost
many miles of trails nationwide due to "resource destruction" when
trails are used under wet conditions.
Please respect the temporary closures due to weather or trail
conditions. We do not want the "temporary" closures to become
permanent closures because of resource damage.
Practice Responsible Recreation and Tread Lightly!
