Freeze thaw is beginning to come into effect as temperatures rise and fall by day and night. The cold night time temperatures, mixed with snow, ice, rain and day time sunshine puts the trails in a volatile state. Riding, running or walking on the trails can play havoc with the trail tread. It leaves ruts, contributes to erosion, and creates hard-to-fix trail surfaces which is difficult to correct during these weather patterns. If you are leaving a visible rut and/or footprints, the trail is too weak to travel on. Try to avoid any volatile trails and allow the trail some time to melt, drain and dry out. Help us spread the message and encourage good care for the trails while enjoying the outdoors!
