ST. PAUL, Minn. –Because February has been so unseasonably warm, many trails operated by the state Natural Resources Department are being closed temporarily. The mush makes the backwoods trails vulnerable to damage, the agency said — and also vulnerable to people becoming mired, stuck and stranded. Affected are roads and motorized trails in state forests, state parks, recreation areas, and wildlife management areas. What’s closed? Check online. The list being reviewed with revisions posted Thursdays.
Don’t say you weren’t warned. Fluorescent signs are being tacked up at entry points. For how long? Depends on weather.
