Well i dont know who all is planning on going to Appleton tomorrow but since i cant find anyone else to go i might fly solo down there just to check it out and see what its all about so if anyone else is going let me know maybe ill be able to meet up with you i just got the urge to go riding tomorrow.

[4wheelingmama]

Cowhead - we are headed up this afternoon. Probably be there around 2 or so. I have a bright yellow polaris sportsman. So if you are there and see me come chat, you can ride with us. I think there will be 6 or so of us.

Heres the scoop. The old park is closed, looks to be all of it.

Pretty much all of the new park is open including both of the new parking lots. There are some water hazards in the new part and a few that are closed due to deep water.

Lots of people out there today and she was starting to get dusty by the time that I left.

pulsar_nx's got it right. Sucks that the old part is closed. We were there from 2pm till dark and it was really dusty and there were tons of people there...until the game warden showed up. He handed out a bunch of tickets to people who were riding 2 up with kids. Make sure you are following all the rules. We talked to him and he thinks the old part should be open in a couple weeks as long as we don't get any big rains.

Here are a couple photo from yesterday.

Anyone planning any trips in the near future??? Finally got the brute dialed in and am ready for a trip to appleton, although i see they still have the old part blocked off!!

[4wheelingmama]

Theres a good chance we'll be headed up on Sunday afternoon for a while.

[gr8icefishinmind]

Have this coming friday til the next wednesday off....gonna try and line up a few of my dawson, madison, and benson buddies and go ride at the park one or two days during that time!

[4wheelingmama]

Let me know if you guys go! We are around this weekend and I have friday & monday off. We'd love to go.

Went on saturday and had a great time. Watch out though some of those holes are DEEP! Had a problem with the seat wanting to float off and my storage box on top of the rack filling with water but other than that the Grizzly ran like a champ all day!

[gr8icefishinmind]

Was anything blocked off or what it all open?

[Dozer]

The whole original part is closed.

[4wheelingmama]

I talked with mike johnson. He's in charge up there. Since we had a bunch of rain, there is a chance the old part won't be open until August unless we can get some really dry hot weather.

[gr8icefishinmind]

So where is the old part? Is it the slough area with all the water trails?? If that is closed i may not go, that was one of the funnest parts!

[4wheelingmama]

That would be the old part. Everything is under water. With all this rain we've had, there is alot more water and mud in the new part though.

[gr8icefishinmind]

Yeah that is true...........i'll let ya know what day we go, should have a group of 6-8 people or so!

[DELONG73]

This place sounds like a good one to hit. I see alot of statements of sections being closed due to too deep of water. What is too deep? Saw a mention of the trails under 12" of water and closed. Pretty shallow to be closed. My bikes are setup for mud(31" Outlaws) mostly but have some stock tires for the Renegade.

Anyone heading here this weekend? Looks to be about 150 miles from me in Big Lake....

[4wheelingmama]

We are headed out there at least one day. If I get my way Friday evening, Saturday and Monday. There a lot of water, but the main reason i've heard it is closed is because the emergency road is under water and they wouldn't be able to get an ambulance in.

[gr8icefishinmind]

I'm hoping for one day between friday and next wednesday! But saturday isn't looking good and sunday is a for sure no go! So i am leaning towards friday afternoon!

[4wheelingmama]

We are headed up Monday around 10am for the day.

[Dozer]

Delong73 Whats your email? I might head back over there in a week or two and my all my riding buddys dont like that much water!
