There are many rumors going around about trails closing due to lack of insurance. Lewis County did not lose insurance. Local clubs have lost their insurance and may close trails to protect their landowners. If landowners with Club trails would like the county to insure their property, they only need to sign the county trail agreement, we can bridge the gap until the clubs can find insurance again.
