The Lincoln County Forestry, Land, and Parks Department announced an update to Lincoln County snowmobile/winter ATV trails effective with their Jan. 7, 2022, 9:30 a.m. announcement.

Lincoln County’s funded snowmobile trails (County Administrated Trails) in Zones 2 and 3 are now open, along with  Zone 1, which was opened previously and will remain open.

All trails in Zone 4 will remain closed at this time.

On trails where winter ATV use is permitted, trails must be open to snowmobile use for 7 days before ATV use is allowed.

Therefore, winter ATV trails in Zones 2 and 3, corresponding with the above snowmobile trail opening, will remain closed until January 14, 2022.

Winter ATV trails in Zone 1 are open.

All trails are closed to winter ATV use when the temperature is above 28 degrees F.

Trails are in early season condition and may be rough and icy in some areas.

Be aware of Trail Closed signs, stay on marked trails only and respect private land.

Local snowmobile clubs remind riders to stay off lakes and rivers unless a trail has been clearly marked by a club.
