Multiple Use Groups Endorse Trail Closure
Just before Memorial Day weekend 2006, representatives of two groups promoting multiple use of public lands erected a sign announcing the closure of a trail in the Hovland area. Why would the Arrowhead Coalition for Multiple Use (ACMU) and the Cook County ATV Club endorse a trail closure? According to representatives of these groups, it is part of the effort by these groups to work with other forest users and to demonstrate their commitment to protection of our natural resources. The "trail closed" signs were erected at the entrance to a historically used snowmobile trail called the Royal River Trail by the US Forest Service and the Tilbury Trail by local users. The trail, sometimes called the South Fowl Lake snowmobile access, was closed in 2002 because it had been found to be encroaching on the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness (BWCAW).
