This weekend we were made aware of some ground bees at Wolf Creek Bar.
Second post from the end. This has been taken care of. But if anyone sees/ has problems again. Please comment or inform the bar.

Being this is private property, DNR does not patrol this section.

Ground bees on the trail can be reported to DNR or here.

Happy trails!

Our wasp pals were once again removed from the bridge, but they are a determined bunch so they may rebuild. Please use caution when crossing. 🐝🐝

🐝The wasps have been evicted from the bridge. Thank you DNR 😊
Happy riding everyone!

Heads up: we received a report that there may be bees near the trade river bridge. This is the wooden bridge with railings on the brown trail. We have informed the DNR, but please use caution if you are riding that area. 🐝
