Trail conditions:
CAUTION: There is a timber sale crossing the trail in multiple spots west of Luckboy Pond. SLOW DOWN THROUGH THIS SEGMENT. The entire trail from Ely to Hwy 73/Side Lake was groomed earlier this week but will not be groomed again this season due to the rain and warm weather depleting the base throughout this week. Use extra caution as pockets of open water may start developing in the swamps. Also, be aware of developing ice flows, slush pockets throughout the trail, and watch out for exposed rocks and ground throughout the trail as Spring conditions continue, especially watch out on hills and in areas exposed to the sun. Please slow down and give trucks and logging equipment space, and always use caution and stay to the right when riding on the trails. No Motorized Vehicles other than snowmobiles are allowed on State Trails or Grant-in-Aid snowmobile trails.
