We are expecting temperatures to get into the upper 80's today. We have received NO rain thus far today. Hope you have your weekend plans decided...it's gonna be an AWESOME one! Hope the following helps with your weekend planning:

****What a nice change....per our rain gauge report...we actually received moisture this past week that we could report. The precipitation was much needed & soaked up by our dry soil.

Here's your usual comprehensive Friday report on detailed park conditions...

TRAILS
All of our trails are OPEN on both the North and East sides of the facility. (Except Bill's Woods & the New Property still remain closed at this time.) A pleasant week at RRMT, Inc....much needed moisture was finally received, helping make for some great riding! As a result, our trails are for the most part, still dry since our soil soaked up the moisture, but nevertheless, watch out for that occasional mud puddle on trails in shaded areas. Dust is not too much of a problem now, but will be by the end of the weekend, with no additional precipitation.

RED RIVER
The Red River still remains bank to bank. As a result, be on the lookout for water that has been pushed up into the mouth of Mountain Creek where it meets the Red River. Particularly in the creek, you must be on the lookout for unexpected areas of quicksand that lurks in the creek...you need always be careful to avoid any quicksand because getting stuck is always a possibility!

CREEK
Riders will find that they can ride in the majority of the creek with no problems, but be especially careful when riding in the creek down towards the mouth of the river...quicksand lurks and getting stuck is a possibility and NO fun. But since riders can ride in the majority of the creek, thus the creek is crossable in a number of areas so riders may easily access the trails on both the North and East sides of the facility.

The Weekend Forecast Looks FABULOUS! Sunny skies & great temperatures all weekend long...with NO rain in sight. See you out on the trails at RED RIVER!

We are OPEN this weekend, both tomorrow, Saturday, May 10 and Sunday, May 11 with hours of operation each day of 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. All Members, Guests, and Visitors Welcome This Weekend!

Happy Trails,
