Rock County Snowmobile trail opens

Janesville--The Rock County Snowmobile Trail is now open throughout the county.

Trail conditions are reported as good with 6 to 8 inches of snow. Trails are being continuously groomed and more snow is expected to fall in the next few days.

Snowmobilers are reminded to curtail their trail activities when temperatures reach 34 degrees and warmer. All snowmobilers are reminded to use the official trail to prevent damage to the land the trail passes through and their equipment.

All owners and operators of all-terrain vehicles are reminded that at no time are they permitted on snowmobile trails and they are in violation of State Statutes if they do so. To snowmobile on private land, permission must be received from the individual landowner. Please remember that all snowmobiles must be registered with the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources.

For more information or updates, call the Rock County Parks Division at (608) 757-5458 for a recorded message or visit www.co.rock.wi.us or www.travelwisconsin.com for snowmobile trail information.
