Thu 7/10 - UPDATE:
The downed trees have been cleared from the trail throughout the entire system. We still need to check the TNT trail, but that probably won't happen until next week. The trails are slick and slippery from the recent rains, but they should be fine once the ground drys up. Click HERE for more details. - And Have Fun!!!
Wed 7/9 - UPDATE: All of the singletrack trails on the North Side are clear (i.e. IMBERM, Stinkys, Skeeter, Fr. Connect, Bob, Quarry Trail) Still Hill is NOT clear. The Trails on the South Side still need some work and we will be working on that tonight. We expect to have the entire trail system open after Thursday Night. (Check back here for more information). The volunteers that came out last night did an extraordinary amount of work, and most of them will be out there again tonight. THANK-YOU! to everyone that came out! Remember...
If you used the trails today, Thank a Volunteer.
If you want to use them tomorrow,
Become a Volunteer.

The storm that hit La Crosse yesterday wreaked havoc on the trees at HPT. There have been reports that up to 100 trees are down throughout the HPT trail system. The trails are not fun nor safe to use right now. So for now... the trails are CLOSED.
 We will try and get out Wednesday and Thursday nights to clear as many trees as we can from the trail. Check back here for updates. WE NEED YOUR HELP: HPT has 3 individuals that have completed the chainsaw safety class; therefore they will be the only ones running saws. However we need a few individuals to help with clearing (2 helpers per saw). If anyone can come up to help out Wednesday late afternoon/evening please post a note in the comments here. |

Since the rains have finally subsided for a few days, the trails are dry and back in good shape.
We cleared out a number of downed trees, and finally got a start on trimming back the growth covering the trail last week. Hopefully we will be done with trimming for awhile after trailwork this week.
There may be a some areas that still need some maintenance: If you know of anywhere that needs work PLEASE post it on the message board under "Heads Up!". (We can't fix it if we don't know it's broke.) |

With all the rain we have been getting (which is expected to continue),
the trails are pretty soft right now. Please use your best judgment
when deciding when to ride, or what trails to ride. The Green Prairie
Loop trails are usually the driest, the Blue trails usually take about
a day to dry and the Black trails stay wet the longest (usually 2 days)
since they are further down in the valleys, see the most moisture and
are less exposed to the sun and wind.
All the trails will usually dry up within a day or two, so please wait
long enough to allow them to firm up following a heavy rain. |

 Roger went out to the trails this afternoon to scout out the conditions. Thanks Roger and everybody else that helped out clearing the trails so they would dry out sooner.
So, after careful consideration, (and mother nature finally cooperating)...
The HPT trails are OPEN!Go out and ride, run, or whatever safely. Just remember that the trail is still soft and can suffer from abuse so remember to tread lightly. |

April 22, 2008: Trails should hopefully be opening in the very near future!
Watch the website and your email.
April 14th, 2008: Trails are still closed.
March 29, 2008: SORRY, the Trails are currently CLOSED!  That means NO HIKING, NO BIKING, NO HORSES, NO TIP-TOEING ETC
This is a seasonal closure due to wet weather.
Q: When will the trails re-open?
A: That will be decided by Mother Nature. The trails will be open as soon as they are dry enough to sustain foot and bike traffic without doing damage to the trail. Please respect the hard work of the volunteers by staying off the trail. We all want to use the trails as soon as we can, but please pay attention to the signs and check back here for official trail opening information. Mother Nature will thank you!
