The Keweenaw ATV club is expecting another great summer on the trails. And clean up crews will be out checking trails for damage from snow melt and fallen tree limbs. With Keweenaw county receiving over 300 inches of snow this year, it is sure to be a muddy start for the ATV club.
The Lake Linden trails will not be available for the summer. The club recently met with ohm for an update on the plan’s design. The hope is to have work start near August and the majority of work finished up for the snowmobile season. Keweenaw ATV club does have some adopt a trail sections available to members. Membership dues with the ATV club, help to fund trail maintenance.
Without the trail club maintenance of the trails would go undone. As the DNR does not take responsibility for maintaining them. Though the agency does help provide some funding to various clubs for trail maintenance. And they do shoulder much of the burden for large repairs. Like those happening in Lake linden this summer. The extensive task of clean up, repair, and observation falls in the hands of those that use the trails the most. Members currently cover and maintain the entire network. Which leaves long stretches under the care of individual members. Adopting a section of the trails, as a member is a rewarding experience, as you get out there before anyone else. Check out the Keweenaw ATV Club’s website to learn more about their adopt a trail program and what it takes to keep the network up and running.
