The Lincoln County Forestry, Land, and Parks Department announced that most of Lincoln County’s funded snowmobile trails (County Administrated Trails) in Zone 1 will open effective 3:00 p.m. on Friday, Dec. 23, 2022. The exception to this is that portions of Zone 1 Trail 86 and Corridor 19 located south of Hwy 86 and Corridor 17 south of the Park and Ride at intersection #30 will remain closed at this time.
All trails in Zones 2, 3, and 4 remain closed at this time.
On trails where winter ATV use is permitted, trails must be open to snowmobile use for seven days before ATV use is allowed. Thus winter ATV trails in Zone 1, corresponding with the above snowmobile trail opening, will remain closed until 12:00 p.m. on Dec. 30, 2022.
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. If a water body is not marked, it is considered unsafe.
