Well boys and girls, I just personally got off the phone with both the Wisconsin and Minnesota DNR offices. They both informed me that there is still snow on most trails and the snowmobilers are still riding. Thus the ATV trails will NOT be open on April 1st. In Wisconsin, they will open May 1st, but no date for Minnesota.

sorry to be the bearer of bad news.

 

Rats!

 

The trails open April 1 UNLESS posted in the newspaper, etc. They cannot just claim its closed. I will still be there for this perfectly LEGAL ride.

 

Right on quadking, the url at the bottom will take you to the dnr trails page with the opening dates listed. Look for Yellow Birch, Continental Divide they are few we will be on. Besides the owner of the Hitching Post said he didn't have a sled all last weekend but a couple of wheelers came though. Thats the bar where we will be eating lunch, its located in Holyoke. He also said the trails are open on the 1st.
I'm thinking Fruitjacket talked to a treehugger on the DNR's 1-800#. I'll call the Mora DNR tomorrow and find out. but regardless if you don't read it in the paper or hear it on the news the trails are open!

Nice try Minnesota DNR.

Trails are open April 1 st see you all there.

 

My apologies to everyone for the confusion. The State DNR office even sent me an email today to confirm that the trails ARE closed, but the local ranger says "yeah, you can ride". Nice government we have. Must be the extra tax money.
Again, I apologize. I will see all of you going to Nemadji on Sunday morning!!!
