I'm not sure about any other sections, but as I crossed the Badger Trail on Hwy PD (in my car), there was a drift/windrow approximately six feet high blocking the trail on both sides of the road. There was no evidence that anyone had even attempted to get through via foot, bike, plow, or any other mode.
Yes, the trail is open to biking in the winter, but you are on your own making your way through the snow. As far as I know, there is no plowing done or planned. Generally, the local municipality (or county) does most of the day to day maintenance on state trails, at least in incorporated areas. So unless Fitchburg plans to plow the trail, I don't think it is going to get done. As I mentioned in a previous post, the Cap City Trail only started getting plowed when a local volunteer, who already had a contract with the county for other work, took it upon himself to clear the trail - unpaid, and on his own schedule.
