‼️Amazing news‼️

Additional county road sections in LCO has been approved for ATV/UTV traffic 👏 These sections will not be open until signed however they will be signed tomorrow morning.

A rough draft photo of the new routes is attached. The areas opening are;

➡️Hwy CC from New Post to Hwy NN. ➡️Hwy NN from Hwy B to Hwy N.
➡️Hwy CC from Hwy N to the Village of Couderay
Pending ➡️Hwy H from Hwy Cc to Hwy 27/70 (Helsings) is not 100% open yet but the Tribal Governing Board is working on a revision to their letter to include.

****IMPORTANT NOTE: These new sections are ONLY open May 1st-Oct 31th and DO have a 10pm curfew. Riding hours on these sections 6am-10pm.

This update will not show on a paper map until the 2027 maps are released
next Dec. But the updates have been completed on the maps on Trail Treker. This is why we always encourage riders to download this app as it provides the most up to date information. If you have purchased the Sawyer County maps on Trail Treker you will need to delete the maps and redownload them, you do not need to purchase them again. Ride Command will be updated in the near future.

Many thanks to the SC/LCO ad hoc committee for their hard work and commitment!!

No better time to book your north SxS trip now!

Hello Riders!!

It’s finally feeling like spring! The time is almost here! We do not have word on any early openings yet. Forestry and crews are continuing to monitor. We will report with any updates.

A reminder that county, federal and state forests are closed (light green, dark green and orange on map). You can ride trails outside those forest areas unless noted as closed, you can ride county roads outside the LCO reservation and on county roads within the reservation that are signed and on the map. And you can ride the Tuscobia (trail #10). So you can still ride but planning ahead on the map is needed. Our hopes is for an early opening with the county first when it is seen fit.

In the mean time make sure those machines are ready to start making memories! It won’t be long!
