New trail is great and ready to ride! Trail crews have been out with the mower and all trails are riding well.

Updates are provided directly by trail maintainers.

Skandic widetrack once before and once after the latest snows. Should be riding hood this weekend 😄

With the wind over the past couple of days, drifting made a lot of the trail more or less impassible as some of us discovered this weekend.  At this point, grooming is somewhat pointless with the weather warming up and seasonal closure imminent.  Technically the trail isn't closed until soil starts getting exposed, but you may want to ride elsewhere in any windows of opportunity (early mornings).

Bertram Chain of Lakes

Fresh groom.  Get some while have some cold left!

Looking like the end of the season. Thank you to Adam G with Calumet County Parks for getting one last groom in (even if the route got a little "creative" 😜). I don't think I've seen more people use this trail than in the last 36 hours. It's great to see everyone enjoying this last stretch of winter and making our grooming efforts worthwhile!!

Since there are already some muddy spots developing, I don't expect the trail to be usable for quite some time. So bring on the sunshine and let's get to (dry) dirt season!

CLP was groomed on Saturday night. Another inch of fresh snow fell on Sunday, but the trail was still riding fast on Sunday late afternoon. Next couple days look good. Wednesday and Thursday are days to stay clear. Get out there today or tomorrow. Enjoy! (3.13.23 - 11 a.m.)

Carver Lake Park

Things are pretty soft out there. Don't ride when its above freezing.

Cottage Grove Bike Park

As we head out of this amazing winter bike season there are still options to ride this weekend. Yawkey is rideable but watch for drifts. Haul Road and Connector are planned for grooming this afternoon. Continue to watch weather conditions and ride when it’s below freezing also please avoid sunny slopes when they get slushy even at below freezing temps.

Expect 2-3" of packed snow over a firm base.  


More snow on the way.  Trails have not groomed since last snowfall.

Conditions will be variable throughout winter season as these trails are not groomed for fat biking.

Elm Creek

We’ve had a great run, but with the upcoming warm temps and sections of trail starting to become exposed, the mountain bike trails will be closed except when frozen solid (likely only early mornings). Please avoid riding when the ground is not frozen and remember that O-line is the first trail to thaw in the morning, but typically the end of the route.

Our trail crew is already planning feature and trail builds this spring, and would like to dedicate time there vs. trail fixes. We appreciate everyone’s patience- dirt season will be here soon!

Due to changes with the Twitter API, Trailbot is no longer able to retrieve the latest updates from COGGS trails. Please contact COGGS to express your interest in having their updates in the app.

We are not maintaining the trail in the winter as we did last year. During the warm days, please do not use it. When it gets cold later this week, just know that the trail may be better for snowshoeing instead of biking!

The fatbike trails were finally cleared of storm damage as of this morning, and Kevin was out with the groomer this morning and afternoon. From what volunteers saw/rode today, the trail is firm and the riding today should be pretty impeccable before we see temps rise again for a softer surface later this week. Get after it!

All 5 loops have been groomed to perfection and are riding extremely well.  Join us today for a day of skinny skiing and fat tire biking at our SkinnyFat tour/race.

The fresh snow since the last groom has seen some snowshoe traffic on sections 1, 2, and 4.  Section 1 has also been "lightweight" groomed and is set up pretty firm.  Entire trail should be rideable with varying degrees of difficulty by section.

Hillside Park

Closing the trails despite the temps due to muddy conditions. 

Looks like spring is upon us.  If you're an early riser, feel free to ride when the trails are frozen, but please do not ride soft or muddy trails.   Fingers crossed for a quick shift to dirt season!

It’s cold enough to open the trails today.  Please use caution as we don’t know current trail conditions. If you get out today, please post conditions to the Facebook page.

Pretty icy but the trail has been groomed Please look out for some damage that was done last evening and remember if the trail is soft you need to get off. Studs recommended

Rode on Tuesday evening and the trail was in great shape. Watch out for a few soft spots! The season is coming to a close and the melt will start very soon so get those rides in soon. 

This weekend will probably be the last hurrah before the long thaw. The trail is rolling nice with 1” of fluff over hardpack. Some hike a bike due to drifting, the worse of it being the beginner loop and the “expert” loop above the lake. Studs if you got em, but I didn’t use any. Happy fatbiking!

Lake Rebecca

3:30 Sunday. Sunny, breezy and the temp says 36°. Leb is a bit slushy here and there but not horrible and I'm not sure there's any more reason to attempt to keep a buffed groomed trail with the weather ahead and time of year.
Let's just say don't go extreme with the slush riding and absolutely stay out of any mud. Green will be the first to start showing mud holes. Sick to the blue, black and red trails or go around the mud. You aren't really widening the trail if it's still snow

Lebanon Hills

Groomed at 2pm. Besides a few boot prints and splishy splashy puddles, it's still really good! Some of it was getting soft in the sun so best to wait until later tonight or morning. And it seems  this weekend will be the end of season at Lecker.

Snowshoeing and hiking welcome. No grooming scheduled at this time.

Open, but please ride early when temps are below freezing or late, after temps have dropped below freezing for a couple hours. 

Lone Lake Park

Trails overall are good. There are icy spots on Ridgeline. There is some deep snow on Anthill and some drifting snow in areas as well as icy spots. 

InnerWest now fully opened and groomed. Solid base. Might be a few areas of drifting after grooming this evening and a thin layer of frontal snow otherwise great weekend of riding on tap.  

Season has winded down, looks like the snow is here to stay, we don't maintain the tails over the winter so we'll see you all in the spring!

Some single track groomed and rides okay. Double track groomed and rides good. Get out when it is frozen. 

Trails were groomed yesterday. Get out and enjoy the classic ski lines or free skate, snowshoe, or fat bike the flat groomed side of the trail.

Warning temps and a strong sun will be taking a toll on the trail. Icy when it’s below freezing and slushy when it’s warm. Please don’t ride when it’s warm it will tear up the trail.

Minnesota River Trail

Monarch Singletrack

The singletrack has been snowshoed, and has a good base and will be fine when it's frozen. You will have the best luck with very low tire pressure right now. It'll get soft quick once the temps are warmer during the day. It also starts to freeze up very quickly when the temps drop at night. Feel free to get a jump on it in the evenings! The EDGE LOOP around the outside of the singletrack is always open, regardless of conditions. BEWARE: Part of the Edge Loop is affected by the previous road construction on the far (West) end of the park, along Fenning Ave.

Snowmaking Operations have started for the Ski/Snowboarding Season.  Thank you !

Trails are too snowy, go out and snowshoe them or give 3 island a rip on your fatbike.  See you next season!

Murphy Hanrehan

The trails were groomed again the night of 3/2. All trails were groomed. 

Trails have been groomed and are best when used  in the morning or evening due to warmer temps during the day. 

Trails are open and are riding great. The more tire love the better it will be.

Plum Creek and all parts of the River Bluffs were groomed again today (3/2). All parts should be packed and riding well. Enjoy the winter trails while they last!

Cold enough to re-open. Caution as we don’t know current trail conditions. Please give a trail report if you get out today. 

North Star Loop has been groomed.  It is not in good shape for fat biking though, very icy in spots and then very soft where there are drifts.  

Trails are open when frozen, please don't ride when temps are 28F or warmer.  

Trails were groomed this past weekend, but are soft. Please wait for an update after Monday's freeing rain. 

The winter fatbike/showshoe double track loop was groomed Monday, 3/13, expect soft conditions.  With warm weather and rain in the forecast, this will not last long, so get it while you can.

Salem Hills

Trail is not groomed for fat biking in the winter. And even though snow might be melted away the temps going above and below freezing makes the trail greasy and unridable. 

But if you’re looking to get some exercise, and there is enough snow, grab your snowshoes and hit the trail, or make your own path!

Here’s a picture of the Brewery Switchbacks to hold you over until next spring. 

In and Out, Switchbacks, Flubber (halfway), Knu Knu dh, Upwego, and main access road to Knu Knu dh are all clear of leaves! Should have the rest clear before the end of the weekend!

Trails close for Deer Hunting Nov. 5-20. 

Access to bike trails will be from the north west Jamaca access ONLY (fire hall 2)

Main trailhead entrance is closed due to construction. 

Watch for disruptions on the trail from the heavy machinery moving through.

Trail is riding fast. 

Groomed and open.

Sunfish Lake Park

Terrace Oaks

45 North and Conundrum are open. Area 36 remains closed for the season. 

We are back below freezing and should stay there through most of the weekend. 

Solid advice…Get your Theo on this weekend. Closure for Freeze/Thaw…short term or long term…could happen at any time given the current 10 day forecast.

Steve for dirt season is coming. Yay dirt season!

Theodore Wirth

Fresh snows and blowing winds have made trail care a challenge. As with all volunteer groups, we have limited active members. The few we have need your help to help keep the trails open until we have to close them for spring thaw. Some trails have been cleared and groomed. Please consider helping.

Trails are dry and riding is primo. Get out before it rains again!

Will update as Spring thaw progresses... 

Thx for staying off closed trails, LCA



Please only ride in the morning or evenings when it is freezing, it's annoying but we're in the freeze/melt portion of the season and every bit helps to keep the trails open and usable for everyone. 

Groomed Last night but still very soft this morning.  Snow shoeing would help pack it in.  Might groom again tonight.

Trails have been groomed and should set up nicely over night.

The trail has been groomed and os riding well.  BUT... temps are rising over the next week, please stay off when above freezing so that it stays good!  The night time is the right time... 

Know when to go.
