According to the Baldwin Ranger Office, the parking area at Cedar Creek is gated to prevent damage to the asphalt from carbide studs an such on snowmobiles. The trail itself is open, just have to find a place to park to access the trail. Linderman rd, which is the road leading up to the parking lot, is a option if you can get up the hill when there is snow or ice on it. I mentioned this an suggested maybe the county could be advised to have a plow truck clear the road( Linderman ) up the hill to allow parking along Linderman. Don't know what will come of my call, but you never know. Now, what is that number for the Muskegon County Road Commission? Happy Trails to you. :nod: :ride:
