Ride Dirt Trails — Not Mud Trails!

Help keep these trails great for you and others by not riding when they’re muddy.

Riding on a mud trail wrecks the trail. It leaves ruts, contributes to erosion, and creates an unrideable, hard to fix trail surface. This wastes valuable resources repairing the trail, and ruins the experience of riders on the next dry day. If you are leaving a visible rut, the trail is too muddy to ride. Warm weather during Spring and Fall is especially critical for trails, as the freeze-thaw cycle results in a soft surface. If trails are muddy, please ride on pavement or gravel until the trails dry out or refreeze.
