A wet end to the week with just over an inch of rain Wednesday evening until Saturday evening. Cooler temps as well as the thermometer has had a hard time getting above the mid 40’s. The leaves are holding on to the trees better than expected after  wind and rain. We are experiencing a latter than usual peak of  Fall color. Many trees around Maplelag have already reached their peak but still many leave just starting to display some beautiful color.  This week we mapped all the trails with a gps and will download the data and work up a new map, working with one of the local DNR foresters.

The trails are open for hiking, running, and biking but closed to motorized use and horse travel. Work will continue on the trails until the snow flies.
