Sadly, we must officially close the FLYING EAGLE LINK TRAIL from the Flying Eagle Link Trailhead to Tilson Lake entrance close to Rossburn until further notice! This includes ‘The Boardwalk’.

July 6th / 2022: Update – Elk Link Trail
Update on the connecting Elk Link Trail (Rossburn Subdivision Trail to Riding Mountain National Park) – The Onanole trail is open and operating and in good condition from Onanole to Wasagaming, including each alternate route. Some mowing is needed in spots, but it does not hamper trail use. This portion will soon be cut another time to widen the trail to its normal 6 feet width.
The Elk Link trail has been mowed for the first time (much delayed by flooding and weather). The flooded area (see update from June 14th) is still under shallow water but could easily be waded.
June 14th / 2022: Update on trail condition – Elk Link Trail
Warning regarding the Elk Link Trail: There is a flooded section near Proven Marsh at the South End. Proven Marsh has become a large lake and has flooded part of the trail making it impassable in one portion, except by wading. We estimate that the water is about 15-20cm deep in the part.
