ABERDEEN, S.D. (AP) - The Dakota Midland snowmobile trail system in the Aberdeen area will be closed this winter because there's too much standing water.
High water that's persisted since the spring snowmelt has flooded many rights of way in the 93-mile trail system.
Officials say there's a concern that snowmobilers or trail groomers could break through the ice into 2 to 6 feet of water.
