A wet end to the weekend after a beautiful Saturday. Sunday night close to 3/4th inch of rain. The rain good for the 1000 pine seedlings last week. The rain keeping the water tables high. The trails have dried up enough we can get out and clear trees on the trails and mountain bike course. The mountain bike trails are open for riding including the new Twin Lakes singletrack we completed last fall. We are putting out signs on the course and be aware of any un marked obstacles. The trails are closed to horses and motorized vehicles.
The woods are alive with nature and a great time of year to be in the woods.
Sunday morning we woke up to a dusting of snow and just enough coverage on the grassy areas to take out the skis and log a May 1st and 2nd ski!! Latest woods report.
Sure doesn’t feel like the first part of May with snow on the ground and cold temps! Snow on May 1st sticking around until Monday May 2nd. Enough for a little glide and May skiing!! The frost is out of the ground and the warm sun and temps will melt off the snow today and hopefully the woods can resume the transition to more green. The ice went off the lake last week and the loons and other waterfowl have been busy on the lake. Water table are at a all time record high and many low areas under water and sloughs and ponds that have been sometimes dry are to maximum capacity. We do have the mountain bike trails open but still have trees to clear and signs to put out . It is interesting moving through the woods with motorized equipment so taking a bit longer to clear the trees. If you do ride, please exercise caution. The new Twin Lakes singletrack is open and can be accessed via the Twin Lakes ski trail off the Maplelag driveway. We had a couple riders out on Monday and reported a nice ride. The trails are closed to horses and motorized equipment.
