All county campgrounds and boat landings are open for the season. In addition, the Clark County ATV/UTV trails will open early this spring, at 8 a.m. on Friday, May 10.

The alternate route will be on County Highway B to intersection 6. Riders are reminded to stay on the trail, obey all signs and to please ride responsibly.'

Knobby Ridge Motorcycle Trails will also open at 8 a.m. this Friday, May 10.

'Logging is active in the county forest and trucks will be hauling, so please be cautious of equipment,' wrote Beaver.
