Using trails when they are muddy is the leading cause of trail damage on the Ridge to Rivers system.
Other ways to help maintain our trails:
- Stay off of muddy trails. Pay attention – if you are leaving tracks, turn back.
- In winter, ride or hike early in the morning when trails are frozen hard.
- Check daily trail conditions on the Ridge to Rivers website to know whether you should be on the trails during winter months.
- If you encounter short stretches of mud, ride or walk through them. Don’t leave the trail as this kills trailside vegetation and leads to trail widening.
