OHV riders asked to excercise caution

Posted on April 8, 2011 by Sam Cook

The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources on Friday urged off-highway vehicle (OHV) riders to use caution when riding in state forests to avoid damage to trails and roads. Riders also should watch for closures of trails and roads because of wet conditions.

As the snow melts, forest roads and trails conditions are becoming wet throughout much of northern Minnesota

“We are asking OHV riders to use good judgment when they are out in the forest,” said Bob Moore, DNR parks and trails supervisor, Grand Rapids.

Closures vary from south to north as spring thaws occur. Closed areas will be opened as soon as conditions allow.

Road and trail closures can be found on the DNR website listed below:
