Fall Color

Mountain Bike Trail Report
Trails Open. Incredible fall riding in place. The woods are vibrant with color. The leaves are starting to fall a bit more rapidly on the trail as we have passed our peak, but all part of the fall riding experience!
We have been clearing on the course the past few days as leaves fall to the deck and cleared 95% of the entire 25 mile mountain bike course Thursday-Sunday.
We will continue clearing on select segments, usually clearing the entire course over a period of 10 days, up until the end of October. The trails close for the first season 3 days before deer hunting season then open for the winter riding season late November.
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. Trailforks is also a great resource to use for identifying the Maplelag mountain bike trails.
Twin Lakes has a “sport” option to bypass the first part that has more roots that leads to Hudson’s Hula loop which is rolling great the end of summer. Feeling Lucky, SukkerWest and the Citizen loop good starter trails/loops for first time riders to Maplelag.
We also have pink signs out for the LagChilada challenge which is one continuous ride of the entire trail system, about 25 miles.
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.

Trail Report
Beautiful fall weather for the weekend with fantastic fall color scenes in the woods right now. We hit our peak of fall color around the lodge on October 3rd but still great Autumn scenes in place.
We have started the process of clearing the leaves off the trail. We try to clear the key trails completely free of leaves before the snow and frost sets in. Having the trails cleared allows us to open for skiing on minimal snow.
Mountain bike trails are open. Click on the mountain bike report for latest conditions. Trails are closed to horses and motorized use.
It has been busy summer and start to fall on the ski and mountain bike trails mowing/brushing and constantly clearing deadfall and cutting/splitting firewood. We will continue working on the trails up until the snow flies. Overall, the summer has been slightly above precipitation with average temperatures at Maplelag making for great conditions for trail work.

Cooler weather moving in after a warm week. Not quite as cold overnight as forecasted. No frost or freeze and temps down to mid 30’s. Not having a freeze will keep the leaves on the trees a bit longer! Fantastic fall color scenes in the woods right now. One of the more beautiful times of the year at Maplelag. We have started the process of clearing the leaves off the trail. We try to clear most of trails completely free of leaves before the snow and frost sets in. Having the trails cleared allows us to open for skiing on minimal snow.
