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.
September 10th / 2021: Update – Clanwilliam
The damaged culvert is fixed – the trail is open again (South of Clanwilliam – East of PR 262 and north of Road 91)
September 1st / 2021: Update on trail condition – Clanwilliam

Hi, Ilse….the Elk Link Trail at the south end has a flooded section due to high water on Proven Marsh. Only about 100 meters are affected, that I could see, but the water is maybe 20 cm deep so I couldn’t pass through to inspect the remainder of the trail. June 11/22….Dave W.
Thanks for the update Dave!
