Had some time this afternoon so I grabbed the dogs and headed up to check out the Gladwin Trail to see how the place endured last winter … well, I guess I’m really not too amazed at what I found based upon the heavy snows we received, but considering everything, I am surprised that the water levels on the surrounding roads were not as bad as I have witnessed in the recent past.

On my arrival I am approaching from the east on M-61 … hence, I pass the ORV trail where it crosses M-61 after leaving the trail head parking facility … I stopped and snapped this picture looking south at the trail as it exits onto the roadway from the trail head … as indicated, the DNR still has this area marked for no motorcycles or quads … in addition, there is now a large tree across the main trail as well.

Turning around and facing north from the same vantage point along M-61 you can see the trail entering the middle loop of the two northern trails … again, the DNR still has this area marked for no motorcycles or quads … however, if you look closely, you can easily see that there have been several folks riding through despite the signage.
