Despite high snowfall totals in recent weeks, winter is loosening its grip on some of your outdoor recreation activities. Kewaunee County finished closing the rest of its trails at 6 a.m. on Monday after closing its Kewaunee and Luxemburg routes on Sunday. The Red River and Algoma routes were the last holdouts.

Door County still has the bulk of its trail system open under poor conditions, but the parks department followed Kewaunee County’s lead and closed its central Zone at 6 a.m on Monday. Two more zones would close by Monday evening as the north and southwest portions of the system were eliminated from use. As of 5:45 a.m., the southeast zone, which includes parts of the Ahnapee Trail and Potawatomi State Park, remained open. 

Snowmobilers will not get much from Mother Nature to get the two trail systems back to full strength anytime soon. Even with Monday’s snowfall and Friday’s forecasted flurries, daytime temperatures are expected to be above freezing each day this week.
