All Trails Open as of 7/5/19

We know that you will be glad to learn that Forester Byrd has announced that ALL Equestrian Trails at Shimek are OPEN as of 11am 7/5/19. His message : "All trails at Shimek are OPEN! They are not overly dry but looking pretty good. Once again, I want to thank all the riders (there were a few rogue riders) that stayed off the dirt trails for saving the staff at Shimek weeks of maintenance work. With the forecast calling for rain the next few days, please check trail status before riding."
