Mountain Bike Trail Report

The mountain bike trails are open. Great weekend of riding with summer like weather and spring riding conditions! Surface ranges from tacky/loamy with a few low areas soft from rain last week but overall nice early season conditions. No bugs and great sight lines….one of the best times of year to ride! As always, watch for any deadfall that has fallen. We try to clear any trees as soon as possible but with 25 miles of trail, trees can fall down across the trail even if no storms or wind.

We have been busy doing trail work the past two weeks, blowing out the entire 25 mile LagChilada course the past two weeks. Secondary signage is up and the LagChilada course is marked.  Up next for trail work will be dirt work throughout the course, taking advantage of the damp and soft soil to form and repair berms, drainage etc. 

The LagChilada challenge remains in place, handful of riders already completed this year! The LagChilada encompasses all the trails at Maplelag. Click here for more details. 

 Maps: Trailforks and click on Maplelag map for reference of the trails. 

Maplelag is a family owned and operated business. We are one of the few MTB trail systems in the Midwest that maintain the trails ourselves with no outside funding or assistance and pay property taxes that in turn help support other trails locally and in the state! Please consider a trail pass to offset some of our expenses. We love to mountain bike and share the trail with others…what it is all about! Thank you
