Trail System In Province Takes A Beating From Flood Waters

The New Brunswick Trails Council urging people to stay off the trails where there has been flooding because it's downright dangerous.

The Council's Executive-Director Paul Jorgensen tells CHSJ News there has been alot of damage with between 300 and 400 thousand dollars worth to the St. John River trail alone.

If the repairs are not made pronto, there's a warning the trails will have to be closed to snowmobiles over the winter which would cancel out a major tourism initiative.

There have been at least thirty areas where washouts have happened. Jorgensen calls it unprecedented.
