After rain on Monday night, the week has been dry and fantastic riding on the trails and mountain bike course. The course is open for riding and most of the intersections are marked with the key intersections marked. The riding has been great the past few weeks with no bugs and good sight lines because of little underbrush. A few wet spots because of high water but are slowly drying up. There is no charge to use the trails. The trail starts behind the Great Northern building and follow the maintained trail and white signs with black arrows. We have been working on the new singletrack located near Twin Lakes ski trail and slowly making some ground. We hope to have a couple trail work days and more information will be posted on this page. The new trail is open for riding. Head to Twin Lakes and look for the mountain bike trail sign. Ride the trail to the end and ride back!! We encourage riders to check out the trail and help us pack it down. Photos below from the new singletrack.
Rain showers Monday afternoon in to the evening resulting in 1.25″ of rainfall. Trails a bit wet today but should dry out by tomorrow. A beautiful Saturday and Sunday of Memorial day weekend with Spring weather about as good as it gets. Bit cooler than average but a great time to be in the woods walking, biking, working on the trail, observing the nice variety of birds in the area and catching a few fish on the lake! The leaves have really come out the past few days and the woods starting to green up nicely.
A gorgeous Memorial day weekend. Rain holding off most of the day on Monday, making for rideable conditions throughout the day. Rain Monday night making for wet and softer conditions but drying out by the afternoon and some great riding Tuesday evening. The low areas that were wet are soft again until a few days of drying but overall good riding conditions. Quite a few folks hitting the trail on Saturday and Sunday great riding as well with conditions about as good as it gets.

After a warm and windy day on Wednesday, cold front moving through last night bringing cooler temps and early morning rain shower. The warmer temps this week popped the leaves out finally and the trees through the forest looking much greener. Compared to other Springs, we are a week or so behind on the leaves, mainly because of the cooler weather this Spring. However, the underbrush has been popping up with many wildflowers sprouting up the past few days. A nice variety of birds at the Maplelag feeders and fun to watch them get along and take turns feeding. The mountain bike course is open but will be wet in a few spots. We have marked all the key intersections. The course begins behind the Great Northern building and signs are placed at key intersections. Follow the mowed/cleared trail otherwise. There is no trail fee to ride the trails. The riding has been great the past few weeks with no bugs and good sight lines because of no underbrush. Click here for the bike trail report page.
Another interesting, typical Spring, weekend of weather. Dusting of snow and cold temps Saturday morning giving way to sunshine and warmer weather on Sunday. Leaves still slow to pop out on the trees and looking through the woods, still looks like end of April.
