Trails Update
Snow lovers had an epic season in the Watershed this winter but now the big melt off is happening and we are also in the freeze/thaw cycle. Don’t know what the freeze/thaw cycle is? Check this for an explanation. With warm temperatures more people want to hit the trail, but a little patience prevents trail damage. If trails are wet or muddy then boots, tires and hooves all cause damage. If you are leaving tracks you probably shouldn’t be out.
Be patient and make good choices, we all will benefit from high quality trails if we avoid wet trails. If you encounter isolated wet areas or mud holes, do not go around them to avoid them, this widens the trail, the proper thing to do is go through the mud and keep the impact to a small area.
Help us spread the word and educate trail users about keeping our trails in good shape!

Parking and Trash
Finally, with increased usage comes increased demand for parking. Please park tight and leave room for others, don’t block other cars in and don’t block the roads to traffic. A little respect goes a long way.
Help spread the word about keeping our trails and parking areas clean. There are no trash cans at the Watershed, so take your garbage and pet waste with you. If you can, leave the trails better than you found them. Thanks!
