THE 32* TEMPERATURE RULE...
Before heading out to ride during the winter months, please make sure the temperature is at, or below 32* and the trail condition is a HARD trail leaving little to no impact. Should the temperatures rise and trail conditions soften, creating a tire impact you should not be on the trail system and remove yourself. You should only return once the trails are hardened by cooler temperatures. Early morning riding, or night riding when temperatures are lower is suggested as trails are in better, firmer condition.
Check facebook page for current updates before riding.
The Trail Administrator cannot express enough, for every ATV and UTV operator to use common sense when considering to ride. The temperature should be below freezing before you consider to head out on the trails. It is common knowledge that NCATV shares the trails with snowmobilers.
