Muddy trails at the Run-A-Muk dog park amid record-low snowfall in the Snyderville Basin.

This is the second time this year the park has closed during the day amid record-low snowfall across Utah.

The Run-A-Muk dog park at the base of the Utah Olympic Park will close during the day again as temperatures rise in the Wasatch Back.

Basin Recreation officials said Thursday the park will be open from dawn to 11 a.m. daily starting Feb. 27 until further notice. It’s to reduce damage to the dirt trails with the lack of snow.

Officials say the unseasonably warm weather created muddy conditions. If recreators continue to use the trails, it could damage the surface and be costly to fix.

The National Weather Service predicts highs in the mid-50s with lows around 30 degrees and chances of rain through the weekend for the area.
