Take care while driving on wet tracks
This summer weather is predicted to be wet. Roads and tracks are easily damaged during wet weather and can only be repaired once the weather clears up and the roads are well dried out. When visiting parks keep an eye out for temporary track closures and if it’s raining or the track looks soft find an alternative route.When driving your car or four-wheel drive in a park keep in mind these basic tips:- stay off wet tracks or recently graded roads- drive only on formed roads- take notice of signage and only use roads that are open to the public and safe to do so- avoid wheel spin and churning up track surfaces- remove fallen trees or limbs from roads; don’t create new tracks by driving around them -
