Summer Trail Conditions
Updated: Tuesday September 15 @ 12:30pm
TRAILS ARE OPEN
Mountain Bike
Trails are in excellent condition right now following some recent rains over the last few days. There are some leaves on the ground but nothing limiting riding at the moment.
We have our first fall volunteer opportunity on September 19th(opens in ne if you'd like to pitch-in and help leaf blow the trails and get things ready for what should be an excellent fall riding season.
NOW OPEN:
- Gene Connector: Our newest trail section just opened, connecting riders from BaseCamp directly into Gene Machine, allowing for direct access to the Rear Hub.
- Papoose Connector: This new trail provides a smooth, flowing line from the Rear Hub, through Papoose Hub, all the way down to the Bottom Bracket.
- 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.
- BaseCamp Gravel Trail: This trail runs between our tent sites at the campground, connecting our two bathhouses. It serves as the starting point for both Happy Camper (coming soon) and Gene Connector which just opened.
IN THE WORKS:
- Happy Camper: The crew is putting the final touches on the uphill portion of Happy Camper this week. This will allow riders to leave straight from BaseCamp on dedicated mountain bike trails. Final section will create a loop so riders can session Happy Camper over and over again without needing to ride through BaseCamp. Stay tuned for an updated map and information coming out later this week.
Hiking
Hiking trails are in fantastic shape and the woods have just begun their fall color change. The next 4-6 weeks will be absolutely perfect to get outside and enjoy nature.
We recently installed temporary signage for our historical tour developed in partnership with the MW Historical Society. Check out our hiking page (scroll to the bottom) for more details.
All our hiking trails are dog friendly and well behaved dogs are allowed off-leash once on the trails. For more information, visit our dog policy page.
Reminder, we have dedicated hiking trails and do not allow hiking on the mountain bike trail system. Please refer to the main kiosk or grab a brochure from the Chalet to help you navigate your next adventure.
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.
