Beautiful Spring weather continues! Handful of folks hitting the trails this weekend and week and reporting very nice riding on the mountain bike course. The mountain bike course has been marked at all the key intersections. The course has been cleared with a few leaves blowing back in with lack of underbrush, and windy conditions. We have been working on the trail again this week, clearing out the track again. The trail is open for riding at no charge. Riding has been great for early season. There are no services in the main lodge. The trails are closed to motorized use and horse travel. We will be hosting a short notice mountain bike race on Sunday April 25th. Looks like a slight chance of rain on Friday and Saturday which would help “settle the dust” and Sunday looks great at this point. The woods are alive with the sights and sounds of nature including the calling of the loon during the evening hours… a great time of the year to be in the woods with no bugs and nice sight lines through the forest.
As a result of a warm and mild Spring, the mountain bike trails have opened up earlier than usual and we will be hosting a short notice mountain bike race Sunday April 25th. Click here for more information or call us at 800-654-7711 We will have lodging available Saturday night including supper that night and breakfast the next morning. $45 per person for lodging!! Lunch included with registration!

Beautiful weekend in the woods. Almost felt summerlike! Travel in the woods has it feeling more like mid May. The warm weather has triggered the trees to release their buds. We have been working on the mountain bike course and things are looking great. All the singletrack has been blown free of leaves and sticks and most of the ski trail has been cleared with the mower, blowing leaves sticks etc. We have also cut the deadfall out from winter storms etc. We have not marked the course yet but the trail is easy to follow with the leaves blown out. A few leaves blowing back in with lack of underbrush, and windy conditions. Dry weather keeping things “loose”. We will begin marking the trail this week. The trail is open for riding at no charge. Riding has been great for early season. There are no services in the main lodge. The trails are closed to motorized use and horse travel. We are considering hosting a short notice mountain bike race on Sunday April 25th, keeping an eye on the weather. Check back for more information. The woods are alive with the sights and sounds of nature and a great time of the year to be in the woods with no bugs and nice sight lines through the forest.
