Muddy Trails

Following recent rains and flooding in some areas, the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources is urging hunters to check road and trail conditions before venturing out this fall. Many state forest roads and trails are likely wet and some may be temporarily closed.

The DNR also reminds hunters to use caution when traveling on state forest roads and trails to ensure that motor vehicle use does not violate state law by causing erosion or rutting.

“Use good judgment,” said Paul Maurer, Northeast regional manager for the DNR’s Division of Parks and Trails. “If it’s wet, don’t drive there.”
