🚨The announcement you’ve all been dreading all summer is here:

Get your rides in today and tomorrow, friends!

Return to hunting season hours -Trail open Sundays only —begins 9/1.

08/14/2025

Hooray! Lake is down and trail is open!

08/06/2025

Hate to be the bearer of bad news, but the lake just jumped up over 217 feet again so trail is CLOSED until it drops back down. 🌧️

08/05/2025

Thank you to everyone who has submitted photos and locations of trail issues this week! We’ll do our best to get them addressed asap.

🪾If anyone has the ability to run a bush hog or tractor blade down the rail bed, it looks like nature was playing ‘pickup sticks’ !

🌱B loop is still overgrown and difficult to see the marked trail in several spots.

🌳 There are a few trees down that are generally passable by going around, but we’ll try to get out there with chainsaws soon!

🕊️ In other news WRC is out tagging doves this week. If you see doves in traps, please do not disturb them. WRC is checking them every hour.

🐴 And as always, stay safe out there!

Lake is at 216.89 as of 11:30am today (Monday 7/28), so trail is open to ride. Again, PLEASE be careful out there. Watch for hazards and other storm damage and feel free to report anything you see that needs ito be addressed! Thanks all!

Update Saturday 7/26/25 9:30pm

Lake is sitting at 217.90 tonight, so about a foot to go before we can officially ride the trail again.
Looking like Monday may be the day. 🤞🏻🤞🏻

To anyone planning to venture out, please BE CAREFUL!
There will likely be a lot of debris, probably trees down, and other damage. We’ll get out to assess as soon as possible, but please let us know if you see anything before we do!

Stay safe (and cool!!) out there 🐎

Jordan Lake is down to 220 feet, getting closer to reopening. Army corps said ~1 foot a day so hoping maaayyybe Sunday/Monday? Fingers are crossed!

07/14/2025

Lake is currently at 229 feet so trail is still closed. We will get out and assess the damage as soon as possible. Some photos from one of our officers taken while on foot:

Lake jumped up from 216 to 222 feet yesterday…needless to say, trail is CLOSED.

We hope everyone who took to the trail today had a wonderful ride! A group of us did all 3 loops and had a blast. A couple of things to be aware of that we’ll try and address ASAP.

Volunteers to bushhog would be great! We had one great volunteer clear some problem areas last week—thanks Brook!

B loop:
Vegetation is overgrown in a few spots, making the marked trail hard to see. It’s particularly bad between B4 and B5.

C loop:
Vegetation is also overgrown between C1-C3. Tree markings are more visible here, but tall weeds are the main issue.
Several holes have opened up with the rain and the ground beginning to settle. PLEASE BE CAREFUL on this loop and watch for holes.

🎆Have a safe and happy 4th!🎆
