A wet week with rain on Monday and Tuesday evenings measuring 2.6″. Since June 1st we have received 7″ of rain which is close to normal. We did not receive any significant storm damage from the tornado that was north of Detroit Lakes Monday evening.

Overall conditions have been good for working in the woods and we have begun mowing on the ski trails. We continue working on the mountain bike course as well. Different wildflowers popping up along the trail and sloughs each week and lot of wildlife sightings this month. The woods have exploded to a lush green and have filled out nicely with many colorful mushrooms.  Right around 5″ of rain the month of June. 

Good seeing folks out on the trails this spring. Trails are open to the public for day use. Most trail work has been focused on the mountain bike trail but we also continue cleaning up deadfall from last summer’s storm, using the blocks to split for firewood. The ponds and sloughs active with waterfowl and loons have been numerous on Little Sugarbush. Ice went off on April 19th. 

Thank you to everyone that comes to Maplelag and supports the trails. A MN State trail pass is not required to use the trails at Maplelag. The Maplelag trails are self funded by operations with no grants or state funding.
