Montmorency County
Trail Conditions

Atlanta, Hillman & Lewiston Michigan

---

updated:
Trail Reports will be temporarily withheld for a while.   

First week of April,  2008

We've made rapid transition from Snow Mobile conditions to ORV conditions.

The majority of snow has vanished putting Spring in the air!  With the drying of the dead grass and leaves, along with mild temps and some good breezes, we're currently under an ELEVATED FIRE DANGER for today.  No burning of debris is permitted and don't throw out cigarette butts.

Conditions are pretty good for the most part with a few pockets of wet or damp area's from any remaining snow/ice melt.

The conditions are expected to diminish a tad over Thursday night through to Saturday with a fair chance of precipitation. This should move out Saturday late afternoon and start drying out again through Sunday.  The next chance of precipitation comes Tuesday.

Temps for daytime highs are expected to be in the mid 60's nominally and the nighttime lows dippin' into the mid 30's.

Our critters in da' woods are beginning to move about for the Spring wakeup call, so keep the eyes peeled either traveling on roadways or on the back trails.   Elk and Deer are still carrying their babies inside, so give the preggie mommies some time and space while traveling
.

Any significant changes in conditions, the Trail Report will be updated as warranted.
