Tree Planting
This past week, we planted around 2500 trees in the Maplelag woods at Maplelag. Species planted include black spruce, Norway pine and Colorado spruce. Since the beginning of Maplelag almost 100,000 trees have been planted around the Maplelag complex and ski trails. A few trees have also been transplanted from various locations. Some of the fields that were planted with seedlings 25 years ago are now full healthy pine stands the skiers and bikers enjoy all four seasons.
Scenes From the Lake
It has been another beautiful Spring on the lake. The loons have been the highlight for sure and many nights are heard calling and dancing throughout the night and evening. The weather seems to change frequently making for some fantastic scenes on and around the water.

Remembering Lucky
On the afternoon of March 18th, 2010, Maplelag’s popular dog, Lucky, passed away. Lucky first came to Maplelag in the Spring of 1997. He was a small pup that wondered from the woods. Calls to the neighbors, radio station and flyers posted at Richwood Store revealed no owner. Maplelag adopted the black lab mix and named him “Lucky”. Lucky was a perfect dog for Maplelag. He would guide skiers on the trails and be a magnet to kids in the lodge that would melt over him while he took it all in. Lucky lived a great life, roaming the grounds at Maplelag and never had to spend a night in a kennel. Maplelag’s singletrack classic ski trail was named after him, Lucky’s Loype and also the trail run in the Fall, Lucky’s Loype Pumpkin Run. Thanks for the great memories Lucky!
