After a very dry period a much welcomed rain shower overnight with around 3/4th inch of rain. Cooler weather in place to with temperatures in the upper 30’s late morning. We look to warm up again after today and the forest floor and flora should really start to emerge.

The leaves are starting to pop on the trees and more wild flowers emerging from the forest floor. We have been busy working on the mountain bike trail, tuning and clearing the trail and also continue cleaning up deadfall from last summer’s storm, using the blocks to split for firewood.

Nice to see the riders and hikers out on the trails this spring. The ponds and sloughs active with waterfowl and loons have been numerous on Little Sugarbush. Ice went off on April 19th. 

 The mountain bike trails are open for riding.

Thank you to everyone that comes to Maplelag and supports the trails with season pass purchases. 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.
