Thanks to all who stopped by on our 'Meet and Greet' event on the B-B trail Saturday June 10th!

​Trail Conditions and Alerts:
Bigfork – Balsam Connection Trail has major logging activity between mile markers 7 & 8. The trail is open but watch out for trucks and other logging equipment on or near the trail!

FIRE DANGER IS VERY HIGH!
Wilderness Wheelers is encouraging all riders and others visiting our area to be extremely careful with campfires, smoking, fireworks, and parking  vehicles or ATVs in grassy areas. Northern MN is experiencing drought conditions at this time with no significant rain in the extended forecast. 

Trail Conditions:   The trail is in good condition but with the dry summer it is dusty out there. Wearing a helmet with a face shield or goggles and some sort of mouth and nose cover is recommended to enjoy your ride.

Special notes: Please check back frequently or view our Facebook page for  announcements of events and trail rides this riding season.

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 as far right as is safely possible.   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.
