DNR expects temporary road and trail closures in state forests (Released March 11, 2010)



When the spring thaw signals wet, soft trail conditions, the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) temporarily closes some state forest roads and trails to vehicle traffic. Those closures are expected to begin in the next few weeks.


The department urges forest users to check on trail conditions and temporary road and trail closures before planning trips.


Road and trail condition information is updated every Thursday by 2 p.m. and available online or by calling the DNR Information Center at 651-296-6157 or toll-free 888-MINN DNR (646-6367). The DNR also will post signs at entry points and at parking lots in state forests.


Also, the DNR reminds riders that Minnesota law prohibits Class 1 ATV ditch riding south of the agriculture line between April 1 and Aug. 1. The agricultural line runs roughly from Moorhead to Taylors Falls along Highway 10 and Highway 95.

he Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) reminds people that it has temporarily closed many of its state forest roads and trails since they are not yet firm enough to support vehicle traffic. 

The state forests temporarily closed to vehicle traffic as of Monday, March 29, include Badoura, Big Fork, Blackduck , Bowstring, Chengwatana, Fond du Lac, Foot Hills, Golden Anniversary, Hill River, Huntersville, Land O’Lakes, Lyons, Nemadji, Paul Bunyan, Pine Island, Remer, Rum River, Smokey Bear, Smoky Hills, Snake River, St. Croix, Two Inlets, Waukenabo, Wealthwood, White Earth, and Whiteface River.

 
State forests with some, but not all, roads and trails closed as of Monday, March 29, include George Washington, Koochiching, Red Lake, Savanna, and Solana.

 
“The DNR will lift road and trail closures as soon as possible, some of them as soon as next week,” said Keith Simar, DNR forest recreation coordinator. “We will let users know when and where they can drive. In turn, we ask that they check before riding.”

 
To check, go to “Current Conditions” on the DNR Web site at http://www.dnr.state.mn.us/trailconditions/index.html or call the DNR Information Center for updates. The Info Center can be reached at 651-296-6157 or toll-free at 888-MINNDNR (646‑6367) between 8 a.m. an
