The park is trying to find ways to better serve you, the visitors, in these times of ever decreasing budgets. We would like to hear your views on non-motorized trail use in Governor Dodge. Do you hike, ski, or snowshoe? Do you prefer trails groomed or not? How do you find current conditions? Please take the time to answer a few poll questions. Thank You!
12/4/08 - Greater Access to Snowshoeing/Hiking Trail
New this year, snowshoers and winter hikers will have greater access to the stable loop with the addition of a new parking area. This roughly 2.5 mile loop is normally a horse trail used primarily by a local stable in the summer months and circles through prairies, woodland and crop fields. The park added a parking area this year to allow greater access for fall and winter use. This area will become the recommended place for snowshoeing and hiking in the winter. Pets are welcome on the snowshoe trails!
Remmember - hiking, snowshoeing and pets are prohibited on ski trails when there is snow.
