New UPDATE
The dirt trails have been opened as of
3:00 pm TODAY
6/18/22 AS OF 3PM TODAY ALL TRAILS IN SHIMEK LICK CREEK WILL OPEN! Forester Byrd said: "At 3pm today, Saturday, the trails will open. They might be damp in a few places but the next several days look to be dry. At this point I have to try to find every opportunity to open when I can since it has been a challenging spring."
Enjoy the rest of the weekend on the trails but do watch out for soggy places for despite the sun and heat, the shade keeps some spots soggy long after dust is up elsewhere.
Revised
RAIN and more RAIN
6/17/22 MORE RAIN ...SHIMEK FOREST LICK CREEK DIRT TRAILS STAY CLOSED!
Message from Forester John Byrd as of 9 AM: "Shimek had 4 tenths to an inch more rain. Branches and sticks down all over the roads, etc. Cleared a few bigger trees off the roads. Lick Creek road has a couple of minor washes and it is rough in some spots. I was really hoping to get the dirt trails open but it seems like mother nature won't give me a chance, so they stay closed.
Thank you for staying off those trails this weekend."
Wet Weather Trails remain open.
The pesky horse flies have made their appearance with week. Please protect your animal accordingly.
The extreme heat is also showing its ugly side. Please use caution when riding in these excessive temperatures. Remember to hydrate your animal as well as yourself. A water hydrant is located in the upper and lower campground. They are available for anyone to use. You will need to provide a bucket to water your animal.
A post will be made on our Facebook page as well as this blog page when the dirt trails will be open for use.
Be Safe and Stay cool!
