Protect Michigan trails by not using them when muddy!
Riding or walking on a muddy trail destroys the surface. Using a muddy trail leaves ruts/deep holes, uneven prints contribute to erosion, and creates a hard-to-fix trail surface. Hint: If you leave visible bicycle ruts, deep footprints or hoof tracks the trail is too muddy.
