*Notice*
Due to DA closure, we have set up an alternate ending point for trips ending at Au Train Beach. If you are riding your fun motorized toys, take note of alternate trail routes. Pass along to inform those coming to visit.

Bridge Closure for Construction - Repairs
Work will begin Tuesday 9-12-2023
Planned to be completed by EOW.

ORV Trail C – Snowmobile Trail 418 - AuTrain River Bridge

The bridge will be closed for the duration.
The parking lot on Forest Lake Road will be used for project access and equipment – material staging.

If you need to go east towards Christmas, you can go back to Snow Trail 417 by Brownstone and go South to Trail 8. Head East on Trail 8 to Trail 7 North. Reminder that it is illegal to ride ORV on M28 highway.
From Christmas heading West do the opposite.
Sorry for the inconvenience. The bridge needs repairs.

CONGRATULATIONS to Kevin "Meatloaf" Wynn for graduating!!! We want to help him get a good start to becoming a functional citizen!

On Thursday July 9 please come to Da Yak Shak and schedule a paddle. $20 cash will get you a kayak for the river (shuttle included) and all of the proceeds will go to Kevin's "entry into Manhood fund" you don't have to paddle that day, you can use your certificate later on in the year.

For those of you that want to paddle with Kevin, be here at 4pm for an evening paddle down the river.

Thanks for reading! Enjoy the pictures, they're his favorites
