Looking forward to summer 2020 - Lots of uncertainty with COVID-19

​Trail Conditions and Alerts:
​Bigfork – Balsam Connection Trail opens May 15, 2020!

Trail Conditions:     Spring safety inspections and maintenance are underway.   Overall the B-B trail is in good condition.  Some areas are still soft so please tread lightly. We still have some wet holes to fill.  Go slow through wet areas as they are rough.  Watch for equipment on trail as we will be grading and repairing sections that are rough or a bit wet. The Governor's COVID-19 recommendations are in place. Please remember to follow social distancing when stops are made. Our trail toilets remain open but we are not able to disinfect them on a regular basis. Please bring your own supplies to disinfect door handles and other areas that you touch. 

Special notes:  CAUTION! Logging will be taking place near Mile Marker 7 this spring.

Reminder:  While riding on township and county roads the law requires us to stay to the right hand side of the roadway while using these corridors and obey all other traffic regulations.  On paved county roads please stay on the blacktop to prevent erosion of the unpaved road shoulders.   We also ask you to avoid ditch riding on this trail as we have to fix any damage caused by ATV use along our Bigfork to Balsam Trail corridor.  Stay on the Trail! 

​Please check back regularly for current riding conditions throughout the riding season.
