ATV trails in Kewaunee County will be closing next month until spring, but a little sprucing up is in order before they do. The Bay Lake ATV Club maintains the trails and has called for volunteers for two separate work days, the first set being the weekend of October 17th and 18th. The group’s president, Kelly Froelich, says there are benefits beyond the value of basic trail maintenance.
The club hopes to begin new trails on the eastern end of the Riverview ATV Park and complete maintenance on existing paths. Armoring the drainage ditches, adding water so that erosion slows, helps to keep sediment and other runoff from working its way into the Kewaunee River. Volunteers are encouraged to bring chainsaws to help clear away low-hanging limbs and other trail impediments.
