TRAIL/WEATHER CONDITIONS

Hello on this Friday afternoon...

As a recap from the past week...we had NO rain this week until yesterday (Thursday), we ended up receiving a much needed 1/2 inch of rain. NO rain overnight. This afternoon as of 4:45 p.m., we have a current temperature of 75 degrees. Early this morning, it was very foggy. Finally the fog cleared off, but it remained cloudy and overcast all day long. Even though it has been gloomy all day today, we have received NO rain thus far today. The weekend forecast is calling for temperatures in the low to mid 70's for both Saturday & Sunday with possible rain showers. But until we actually see the rain, we're not betting on it. Time to kick off the weekend...

TRAILS
All of our trails are OPEN..on both the North & East sides of the park EXCEPT the Bill's Woods & New Property Areas. Per our other blog announcement, these areas are closed for upcoming ENDURO & TORO race preparation. Mountain Creek is back to its normal level, except down toward the mouth of the Red River where we advise riders to use caution. No problem crossing Mountain Creek at this time. The 1/2 inch of rain received yesterday has helped to settle the dust somewhat for now. Due to heavy rains back in April, just because a trail was there on your last ride...don't expect it to be there on your next ride. Water has really changed a lot of our trail system, so we advise everyone to use extreme caution even when riding on trails that you were once familiar.

RED RIVER
The Red River remains at a low at this time. There still remains some lurking murky water being pushed up into the mouth of Mountain Creek from the river, so watch out for it...getting stuck is possible.

CREEK
While riding in Mountain Creek is possible and crossing the creek is also possible...please use caution when in the creek, especially further down the creek toward the river. It is very possible to sink your recreational vehicle in the creek due to quicksand if not careful. Riding in the creek is at your own risk. Please note that if you get stuck, RRMT, Inc. is under no obligation to tow you out!

Remember that we now offer Member RV Site Rentals on a daily basis. Reservations are recommended if you are desiring a particular RV Site. Otherwise, all walk-up RV Site rentals are welcomed as well. We still have several Member RV Sites available for this weekend...so call or email us to reserve one now! Please note that in addition to these rental sites, as usual, RRMT, Inc. also offers free other campsites that are always available via first come-first serve for your convenience.

NO BURN BAN for Cooke County or thus at RRMT, Inc.

RRMT, Inc. will be OPEN this weekend...tomorrow, Saturday September 12 & Sunday September 13 with park operation hours of 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. All Members, Guests, and Visitors Welcome This Weekend!
