Summer Trail Conditions
Updated: Friday July 17 @ 1:30pm
TRAILS ARE OPEN
Mountain Bike
Trails are open and in very good condition. A few areas are riding a little sandy with the extended dry weather, but overall things are holding up great.
The temperatures will be amazing through the weekend but the air quality is something to continue to monitor. The trail system will remain open but please use please prioritize your safety and use your best judgment regarding outdoor exertion during poor air quality periods.
NOW OPEN:
- Happy Camper (Downhill Return): An all-levels, flowing downhill line that drops you right back at the campground.
- BaseCamp to Pop’s Lodge: A short, mountain-bike-specific trail connecting day-use visitors from the parking lot directly to Pop’s Lodge.
- Papoose Connector (Rear Hub to Perimeter Trail): The trail is now open from the starting point at the Rear Hub, down to the Papoose Hub, and then extending to where the trail intersects with Perimeter Trail. The final section all the way down to the Bottom Bracket is current under construction.
IN THE WORKS:
- Papoose Connector (Final Section): The crew is currently finishing the final section of trail that will take riders all the way into the Bottom Bracket. We anticipate opening within the next 2 weeks.
- Gene Connector: Coming later this summer, this trail will connect riders from BaseCamp into Gene Machine, allowing for direct access to the Rear Hub.
- Happy Camper: This summer we will complete Happy Camper, along with a gravel trail through the campground, allowing for direct access on dedicated trails into the full trail system.
If you are staying at WinMan BaseCamp (yes, reservations are now open!), mountain bikers can use the road to easily access Papoose Hub and then the new section of Happy Camper to return.
Hiking
All hiking trails are currently open and the forest is incredible right now. We have been mowing and working on all the hiking trails this week and conditions are prime. It is the Northwoods though, so please dress accordingly for mosquitos.
Live GPS Grooming from Nordic Pulse
All dates and times listed reflect when trail grooming was completed on that route. We ask that you wait at least 1 hour after grooming has finished to allow the trails to set-up properly.
