The beginning of logging operations has temporarily closed some trails at Potawatomi State Park.  The logging is being done mostly north and west of the campground area to clear trees impacted by emerald ash borer and beech bark disease.  Park Superintendent Erin Brown-Stender says the temporary closure is needed as a safety measure.

Stender adds that trails within the southern portion of the park will remain open.  The snowmobile trail up to and including the campground will be accessible when Door County opens that zone.  Snowmobilers will be able to enter the park and go as far as the campground.  The logging operations at Potawatomi State Park are scheduled through mid-May, but the trails could open sooner if the work is completed early.
