Dirt Trails are now closed 6-8-22

 

The weather keeps interrupting using all the Shimek Forest trails.

Shimek Forest's Lick Creek Unit DIRT TRAILS ARE CLOSED. Shimek has had more rain. Forester John Byrd sent the following message: "The trails are closed for now. WWT is OPEN. Chance of rain remains today and there is a 70% chance on Friday.  It's Friday.  There was a significant amount of rain again to add more water to the already very wet slippery trails.

Lick Creek is flowing pretty strong so be careful when crossing it. When the trails dry, they will be opened."

As a gentle reminder - Please stay off the dirt trails until the foresters reopen the trails.  Riding the muddy trails can be dangerous to the animal and possibly the rider.  It makes the trails harder to dry with the deep pockets of water that fill up from the animal's hoof prints. We are fortunate to have two very well-maintained Wet Weather Trails to enjoy in the meantime. Thank you for your cooperation in this matter.

May your troubles be less, your blessing more, and may nothing but happiness come through your door (BG)
