Fort Yaro is Closed After a Rain Shower

Eric Bentley (park ranger) called me at 4:30 pm to let me know their was about 20 mountain bikers out on the trails and he was not happy. For the most part it was just your locals(this will be posted in the Barrow county news as well) but he also told me their was some hard core guys out their as well. This disturbs me. Why is it that when all the other trail systems in
north GA are closed due to rain by some peoples standards it OK to go ride yargo. From now on if its rained within the last 24 hrs. dont bother to go to yargo because the staff and park rangers will run you off.

I am setting up a page on our web site that will tell you when the trails are open and when they are closed please spread the word to all your friends that they need to check the web site www.yaba.homestead.com
before going to Fort Yargo if it has Rained within the last 24 hrs. in the area or they can call the parks office at (770) 867-3489 to find out if the
trails are open

We are gonna put up gates at the trail heads this includes B area also if those gates are closed do not ride the trails. Our trails are no different than any other trail system inGAa if it rains Don't ride the trails.

I have put in countless hrs. building Fort Yargos Trails along with the rest of YABA and I am hear to tell you nowDon't care anything about having to fix trails that have been tore up due to irresponsiblee Mountain Bikers
I would rather be riding the trails not fixing them all the time due to people riding wet trails.
