All 25 miles of mountain bike trails are open. Damp conditions with tacky riding surface this morning after a much needed half inch of rain or so the past 24 hours. The thick canopy of leaves prevented some of the rain from making it to the singletrack making for tacky riding conditions. Warm weather the end of the month has really brought the forest to life with leaves full circle and a nice assortment of wildflowers.
We have been leaf blowing on the entire course the past few weeks and touch up segments as needed and also try to clear any new deadfall as soon as possible but be aware trees/organic forest matter can fall at anytime and assume full responsibility when riding.
For first time riders to Maplelag, a good beginner loop is the Citizen loop and Sukkerwest at the end of the driveway. A intermediate to advance loop is the Sport Comp Expert loop. The entire 25 LagChilada loop is open and all the LagChilada signs are out.Click here for more about the challenge!

(Maplelag is privately family owned and operated resort with no outside funding. We are happy share the dirt and appreciate the support!)

Summer like weather! A warm and dry week. The woods have exploded with flora with a nice variety of wildflowers on the forest floor. Nice seeing riders out this week and a few walkers.
Most trail work has been focused on the mountain bike trail but we also continue cleaning up deadfall from last summer’s storm, using the blocks to split for firewood. The grass is starting to grow nicely on the ski trails and we will begin the first phases of ski trail mowing soon.
The ponds and sloughs active with waterfowl and loons have been numerous on Little Sugarbush. Ice went off on April 19th.
Thank you to everyone that comes to Maplelag and supports the trails with season pass purchases. A MN State trail pass is not required to use the trails at Maplelag. The Maplelag trails are self funded by operations with no grants or state funding.
