Area Report:
All Washburn County ATV trails are open at this time. All trails are now cleared and trails are open for travel. Please be aware that riders will encounter numerous small branches and other debris on the trail surface. In addition, heavy rains also caused numerous minor washouts and trail surfaces may be rough in some areas. Riders are urged to ride with caution. Trail grooming efforts will be underway over the next several weeks.
There are two locations on the Tuscobia State Trail in Sawyer County that are closed due to storm damages—one just west of Radisson, one just east of Birchwood. Sawyer County has established alternative routes around these closed sections.
