All park ice roads are now closed for the season. Grooming operations have ended for the season on all park trails, but snowmobile trails remain open. When land portages lose proper snow cover, or ice conditions are no longer safe, stakes will be removed and trails will be closed. Ski trails remain open but are not being groomed. Remember, ice is never 100% safe so pay attention to signage and be aware of your surroundings. As a reminder, please only park in plowed, designated areas.
