Headwall isn't part of the Caribou closure. Open to the lake above Hunters dam. Closed beyond the lake.

That's what the signage says as well. Looking forward to some tight tree riding soon!

Just be aware that it is closed beyond the lake. Took some tough negotiating to keep that much open.

The closures were in place long before the transplants happened. The transplants all got eaten....well, a couple died for other reasons, but most were eaten. The resident herd hasn't changed though. Been sitting at 14 animals for about 5 years now.

The City of Kimberley would like it closed.....but that has nothing to do with Caribou.

I think there are lots of groups that would like more area's closed to sledders

The City may have a point though. It's their community watershed. Their drinking water comes from there.

Would the town of Kimberley be able to get it closed? Would it be easy for them or more trouble then its worth? Just curious... I have heard of ther water shed being closed to prevent contamination in the drinking water.

Yes, they would. The real question is will they. The only reason we didn't agree to a closure in the original land use negotiations was because the government wouldn't agree to a total recreational access restriction. Watershed protection isn't a motorized issue, it's a human issue. It only takes one person to contaminate a watershed, and it makes no difference whether they rode in or walked in. This was the statement from a watershed expert that came to one of the meetings I was at. Both motorized and non-motorized representatives were willing to agree to stay out, but government bureaucrats wouldn't allow us to restrict walk in access.....and we weren't willing to agree to exclusive non-motorized access.
