Twin Lakes Mountain Bike Trail
Posted Wednesday, October 26, 2011 by Jay Richards
The new singletrack loop by Twin lakes is now finished. The loop is around 3 miles in length, taking 20-30 minutes to complete and is entirely singletrack. The trail is open for riding. The track is in very good shape. The trail is rated intermediate with advanced sections. To access the trail, head down the driveway from Maplelag and take a left at the Twin Lakes gate and look for white mountain bike trail signs. Check out all the photos and video below to see what the trail looks like and the building process. The Twin lakes singletrack will be part of the Laddies Loppet course this year. We are hoping to add an extension to the loop this fall.

One of the best times of the year to be riding.
First section of trail buffed out nicely after blowing off leaves earlier in the day. Leaves are coming down fast and filling in track. After a few weeks we will blow out the track again.
