Picture Cred : Guthrie County Conservation

With the first official snow of winter having passed, there’s a reminder for those who enjoy doing a recreational activity in the fluffy stuff.

Guthrie County Conservation Director Brad Halterman says to snowmobile operators that there are regulations when it comes to being on the Raccoon River Valley Trail which is at least four inches of snow.

“That’s just to help keep the trail in the best shape possible. And again, also allow the snowmobilers a place to recreate that way too.”

Halterman adds that the trail is the only public land in the county that snowmobiles are allowed on, other than different trails along roadside ditches.
