I rode rode trails in the park today and they are still brutal. There have only been 1 or 2 snowmobiles through and since then it snowed again. Hikers have helped pack it on some trails. What you get is the hard ice crust on top that caves in as you ride. Makes a loud rumbling sound too. I expect any minute to break through and go over the bars. Other than that you're riding in tread tracks that are chopped up ice and snow. It's doable, but not a fun ride. Come on out if you want to work for your ride!

@Kaleidopete How was that riding? Looks pretty doable, but a picture can be deceiving.

Wasn't riding today, just hiking.
Sticking more to the frozen center would be best, but the Fatty still might float pretty good on the sidelines. Early is better, it will be staying below freezing until late AM.

Pretty crappy today, the trails are either frozen ice or a mix of mud and snow and ice.
The beach was fun, semi frozen and icy patches, but that's at 7 AM.
Find a better place to ride for a while.
Pumphouse trail
The road is still cold with black ice, like entering a freezer.

Some trails are good and some are not! A lot of ice is left and some rideable snow too.
It was fun riding the snowmobile tracks and only sinking about an inch, then you either
hit a soft spot or get a little off track and sink a good 3 to 4 inches and have to hit the power.
I still found places to make fresh tracks. I also rode the beach which is still semi-frozen. I had
a great time, but only did about 6 miles, so I wouldn't recomend the park for a great ride.

Not sure if serious... lol. Although just out of frame, the second part of the rock bridge was also completely submerged. after the big tree on the right. While crossing that I was hoping not to mess up since it was only a mile into the ride. Didn't want wet feet. But my buddy had to walk it, he had wet feet.
