Trail Report

After a wet week that saw almost 2″ of precipitation in a 5 day period,  Friday dry and sunny with temps climbing to the upper 50’s. The woods will definitely “fill out” with the warm temps and recent rain. Looks relatively dry on the weekend so conditions should be good for travel on the trails.

The trails are open for mountain biking, hiking and trail running throughout the Spring and Summer. The trails are closed to horses and motorized use. There is no charge to use the trails and there are no services in the main lodge at this time. The mtb course starts near the Great Northern Cabin and is marked for beginners to advanced riders. Follow the white signs with black arrows. The singletrack sections are labeled easier or more difficult/advanced.

Trail Report

Dry days have been few and far between the last week. Latest total rainfall amounts from the last five days around 1.25″ The precipitation great for the new seedlings planted last week.  Travel in the woods has been limited but after 12 hours of no rain, the riding on the mountain bike course has been fine. A few low areas wet but otherwise the riding has been good despite the cool and damp conditions.

Rain forecasted the next few days might make for soft conditions but the course remains open.
