The Teton County/Jackson Parks and Recreation Department (TCJPR) continues to work with local partners and the community to provide winter outdoor opportunities. TCJPR grooming activities will continue past March 15, 2021. Grooming efforts through the Parks Division is supported in part by grant funding through Wyoming State Parks, Historic Site, & Trail through the Recreational Trails Program (RTP) Grant. The funding for that ends on March 15th each year. The plan as of today is continue grooming all locations. Valley locations will be evaluated weekly starting on March 15th and we will update our website and social media accounts every Friday on status. Backcountry locations, Cache and Game Creek, will be groomed through April 1st at which point we will evaluate those locations. A quick reminder to leash your dog in areas that it is required: Cache Creek and Game Creek. Dogs are not allowed in Town Parks and Teton County School District Property so please refrain from taking your pet into May Park and the groomed loop at the Middle School/Elementary area. All other areas require voice control over your pet and leashes are encouraged. This is the time of year when spooking or running wildlife can really impact their chances of survival through the remainder of the winter so be sure you “know before you go” about closures and leash requirements. The Bridger-Teton National Forest website is great place for information on closures: https://www.fs.usda.gov/main/btnf/maps-pubs
