SAUK RAIL TRAIL UPDATE:

YELLOW HIGHLIGHTED area on the map to the right will be CLOSED

A small section of the Sauk Rail Trail in Sac County will be closed after the July 4th weekend. The part of the trail that currently sits atop the DNR Black Hawk Marsh dike will be removed starting on Monday, July 8th. The concrete trail is being removed to allow the DNR to repair and rebuild the dike later this year. This portion of the Sauk Rail Trail will be closed until a new concrete trail can be constructed next year. For any questions please contact the Sac County Conservation Board office at Hagge Park.
