Trail Report

Beautiful September weather in place. Recent rainfall has really brought the forest to life and signs of fall are appearing more and more each day.

A great weekend for the Laddies Loppet mountain bike race. Thanks everyone that came!

We are now focused on having the ski trails in tip top shape going into the winter. We will be on the trails daily with final mowing, clearing leaves throughout the fall and removing deadfall.

The mountain bike trails are open for riding. We will continue maintaining the trails, and will be open, weather permitting, until November 1st. The Maplelag trails are closed to horse travel and motorized vehicles.

Maplelag is enrolled in the fee based MN DNR Woodland Stewardship Program as part of conservation efforts and forest management. Please consider donating to our Maplelag Conservation Legacy program to help offset these increased costs. Thank you!
