Trail update
DATA trails are closed. We did get snowfall overnight ( 2″-6″) depending on where you are in the County. At this point in the season, considering last week’s temps and no trail base at all, and with the afternoon temps in the 40’s in the immediate forecast, it would not be smart to open the trails. Many of the small ponds are totally thawed out, and small creeks have running water. Wish this snow could have fallen in January.
Trail update
We have been getting small amounts of snow every so often, but our trails remain closed. We don’t have sufficient snow to open trails.
Trail update
We groomed our system once, and much of it twice. Snow is still too thin and fields are still too rough. DATA trails are closed until we get more snow.
The Staff at Lake Carlos State Park has asked that snowmobilers please be respectful by staying on designated snowmobile trails and off ski trails!
