Trail Reports
Thanks for a great season
Tomorrow is supposed to be the warmest day out of the next week our trails continue to be icy and we’re going to start removing some of the trail system starting south and working our way north
March 11 Update
A few days ago we seen gravel trucks hauling rock on the ice road, but we have to remember the lake is in spring mode on the east side of Oak Island near shore is the ice road outside the ice road is the snowmobile trail about 30 feet outside the snowmobile trail is a weak spot. Someone found this area while driving their pick up over it. This area is well staked but keep it in mind. The lake is changing daily our of the resorts in the area will be open through March 16. We will start pulling stakes, when they loosen up. ?. The local NWA network will be last to go. Pictured below is the area on the east side of Oak Island, and the general picture of our trail conditions, icy, and wet.
Feb 25 update
After two weeks of lows at -20°F and the last two days being slightly above freezing. The 50° temperature swing is causing ice expansion, all over the lake. It has affected our trails between Spring steel resort and Stony point. Some of the ice heaves require 100-yard detour. Until things settle down a bit. we are recommending daytime only travel, some heaves are 7 feet tall.
