Hello Friends,

We hope all of you are enjoying the summer and the trails at Hickory Ridge.

It's getting that time of year that the County Forest is getting busy and more user groups are beginning to use their trails. We ask that the bike/hike users respect the other user groups and stay on their designated trails. This would go a long way to avoiding conflicts.

Thank you.

Good News! We plan to open up the trails at Hickory Ridge this Saturday.

We are planning to do some trail work @ 9:00 on Saturday if you are willing and available to help. So far 12 miles of the system have been cleared of branches and debris. We still have another 18 miles to clear so any help would be appreciated.

Thanks. FOHRT.

03-16-26 - Trail Reports
Ski Trail - Since there is a chance of seeing temperatures close to or even in the 50's later this week, we have decided we are not going to groom the tails anymore this season.

Fatbike Trails - Following suit with the ski trail, the trails will not be groomed anymore this season.

02-28-26 Trail Reports

Ski Trail - Trail unfortunately is very icy. Skiing is not recommended. We will not be grooming until we get new snow.

Fatbike Traik - I checked it out today. It varies from dirt to glare ice. It can be ridden but studs are required and prepare for a rough trail.
