Jackson County ATV/UTV Trail Update
|
|
|
|
We did not groom this week, trails were groomed last week so they will be rough!
The groomer will be out today to go over some of the areas that need more attention but overall trails will be rough.
We have had a lot of rain this week, expect water holes and muddy areas.
The 7th Street parking lot to Oak Ridge is still closed.
RIDE SAFELY!
Visit the Chamber office to pick up an ATV trail map. You can also call us and we will send one to you!
ATV Trails will close October 15 and reopen December 15, weather permitting. Plan your visit to Black River Country for a Fall Ride!

Every year the 7 Rivers Alliance surveys the region's businesses and leaders. It's a way for us to measure the top needs and challenges facing our region. It was this survey a few years ago that helped lead to the development of the workforce development plan.
The information collected in this survey will be analyzed and used to plan programs and services that help companies address challenges and barriers to growth. We will gladly share the results.
Thank you again for your assistance, and providing critical information that will help The 7 Rivers Alliance better serve you in the future.
