Watch out for that mud pit on Trail 6 near Eagle River
I was out riding last Saturday on Trail 6 just north of Eagle River and almost got stuck in a huge mud hole that wasn't there a month ago. It's right after the big oak tree where the trail bends left, maybe 30 feet wide and deep enough to swallow a tire. Three guys on SxSs were already pulled over trying to winch one out when I rolled up. Nobody posted about it on the local FB group yet, so I figured I'd give a heads up here. Have you guys seen any other new sinkholes pop up on that side of the trail system?

Man that's rough, I appreciate you posting this. Almost getting stuck like that is no joke, especially when you're out there by yourself. I hit a similar spot on Trail 4 last fall that wasn't marked either and it took me an hour to dig myself out in the rain. Glad you warned us before more people ended up in the same situation. That whole area around Eagle River has been getting torn up with all the rain we've had. I'll make sure to slow way down when I pass that oak tree next time.

Yeah it's funny how things can change so fast without anyone noticing until you're already in it.
