The remainder will be closed at 12:01 a.m. Monday. Also, all year-round trails are temporarily closed as of 12:01 a.m., Monday, except for:

• Gandy Dancer Trail — Minnesota/Wisconsin stateline to Patzau.

• Saunders Grade — Minnesota/Wisconsin Stateline to Schallameir Road parking lot.

• Wild Rivers Trail — Douglas County/Washburn County line to County Highway Y.

Those year-round trail segments that are closed will be re-opened as soon as conditions warrant. For more information, call the Douglas County Forestry Department at (715) 378-2219.
