Trails open. Off and on rain this week keeping the deck tacky and riding well.
We have been busy on the trails clearing deadfall, brushing out overgrown areas, blowing out forest matter and dirt work on the berms on the Bullhead Bootleg loop. Bugs have come out…keep the wheels moving!
Be aware for changing conditions and any falling forest matter such as sticks, branches etc.
New maps are available at the parking lot kiosk. Click here for new map online. The main trail head is near the resort with other trails accessible from the driveway for the Twin Lakes and Sukkerwest loops, county road 110 and hiway 34 for the Bullhead Bootleg loop. We will also have the LagChilada challenge in place again for this season. Pink signs will be placed marking the course. Twin Lakes has a “sport” option to bypass the first part that has more roots.
Summer pass can be purchased here. The passes helps offset maintenance costs. The Maplelag trails are privately owned and operated and we receive no grants or assistance for operating.
By riding at Maplelag, assume all risk and responsibility for any changing conditions that may alter the riding surface.
