The recent warm temperatures have melted most of the accumulated snow in Bay City, causing wet and muddy conditions on trails and outdoor spaces throughout the region. These conditions, along with Saginaw River levels remaining high, have created less than ideal conditions on the trails throughout the property.

The SBLC will be utilizing local resources to assess and address trail conditions this spring with a goal to reopen the trails in late April. Thank you for your patience and please check back for further updates as we work to create an improved and sustainable trail network for your enjoyment!

Good afternoon everyone! Although the trails are closed this winter due to high water levels and current icy conditions, we are working on plans to make trail improvements this spring. These improvements will take the historic high water levels that began impacting the property in 2019 into account and keep the trails open more often. Thank you for your interest in the trails and stay tuned to learn how you can help us this spring and summer!
