Outdoor Report as of October 1, 2009

From the Department of Natural Resouces
Black River State Forest – The all-terrain vehicle trail system was groomed one week ago and is in good condition. This will be the last grooming cycle for this season. All ATV trails will close on Oct. 15. The section of ATV trail from Campground Road to the Clay School parking lot is temporarily closed again due to excessive water on the trails and riders going off trail to avoid these sections. During this time of closure a temporary route has been authorized with the Town of Komensky, Please ride with the utmost respect on this new route. ATVs must stay on the roadway at all times and be mindful of speed. Work is complete on upgrading the wetland crossings on a 1.1-mile section of trail from Wildcat Road heading west. There is some top dressing to be done on the crossings; this work will be done the week after the trails close for the season. As soon as we receive the necessary wetland permits we will begin work on the section that is now temporarily closed. Four fatal ATV accidents have occurred on the Jackson and Clark county trail systems this summer. These are unfortunate reminders of the need to practice safe riding at all times. All campgrounds are open for the rest of the season on a first come first served basis. Getting a site this time of year is very easy even on weekends

ATVing unsafe? Jackson County WI thinks so...

The second of two recent deaths on the property occurred over Memorial Day weekend prompting renewed scrutiny. State and local officials have maintained throughout that the Bunkhouse represents a danger adjacent to the public trail system.
