Supt. Bob DeGross: By end of day today the Purple Trail will be staked, the Green Trail is staked the entire distance from IFalls to Crane Lake, and the Chain of Lakes Trail is open but rough with limited snow. Still having challenges getting ice roads in. The ice thickness just isn't there yet.

Just a reminder to be cautious around the overlook at Kettle Falls. Be safe in general.
