Maplelag Resort

Wednesday, September 28, 2011 - Nature

The trees around the lodge and cabins have hit their peak. It has been a fantastic season of fall color. Combined with the incredible late September weather, one of the best times of the year to be in the woods. We can’t recall a September that has been as tranquil, weather wise, as this one. Won’t be long until things change…FAST!  The trails in the woods still have some days until they hit their peak.

The ski trails are in excellent conditions and looking great for the winter.  We flagged a new loop for the snowshoe trail and it is now cleared and ready for snow!   All the trails that can be accessed for mowing have been mowed and we will continue to touch up until the snow starts flying!  We have also been cutting trees cleared from the ski trail and splitting for the old sauna and warming house. The mountain bike course is riding nicely and in great shape.  Latest bike trail report.
