Mountain Bike Trail Report

The mountain bike trails are open. Tacky/dry riding surface Overall great late spring riding conditions. We have been clearing out the trail again and riding is about as good as it gets for this time of year.

We have been blowing out trail the past week and a half with most of the course cleared. Best riding has been on Bullhead Bootleg, the Twin Lakes “race loop” and all the inner trails rolling great. North Loup Gnar also cleared and riding nice.

The LagChilada challenge remains in place which encompasses all the trails at Maplelag. Click here for more details.  Secondary signage is up and the LagChilada course is marked. Click here for the Strava map which can be downloaded 

 Maps: Trailforks and click on Maplelag map for reference of the trails. 

The Maplelag trails are described as classic or old style. Featuring more narrow singletrack with roots and rocks and generally more technical in nature. A good beginner loop is the Citizen Loop and a good intermediate loop is the Sport loop. 

Maplelag is a family owned and operated business. We are one of the few MTB trail systems in the Midwest that maintain the trails ourselves with no outside funding or assistance and pay property taxes that in turn help support other trails locally and in the state! Please consider a trail pass to offset some of our expenses. We love to mountain bike and share the trail with others…what it is all about! Thank you.
