Hello Cuyunaverse,

The temps are changing and so are the leaves.  Time to start packing for another weekend of great Red Dirt riding!!  

Small Game and Archery seasons are open.  This hunting can take place in the Cuyuna Country State Recreation Area and in Cruser's Kettle.  ALL TRAILS are OPEN during this time. 

Riders are encouraged to wear orange or pink.  

The Dragline North/Portsmouth Campground project is ongoing and is signed.  

Always check the weather before your ride: 
Weather Channel https://weather.com/.../7513d15d75278b42c53344a25ac2781a9...

Mahnomen North Unit -  Open
Sagamore Unit - Open
Mahnomen South Unit - Open 
Portsmouth Unit - Open.  There is construction with some alternate routes.  Read the signs.  
Yawkey Unit - Open  
Cruser's Kettle - Open

Our protocol is to wait at least 2 HOURS after rain stops OR when the streets in Crosby/Ironton are showing dry spots.  Cruser's Kettle needs 24 hours to dry out. 

All trails in the CCSRA and Cruser's Kettle are one-way, directional trails.  Bikes, walkers, and runners all go in the same direction as the trail designation. 

Groups larger than 6 should think about breaking up into smaller groups so other riders can pass safely. 

If you are unfamiliar with the trails, here's the link to the current map.  It's a great idea to familiarize yourself and everyone you ride with on what trails you are riding.  We want everyone to be safe, and in the event of an emergency, to know where your are,

Elm Creek

Starting Friday (9/30) at noon through Sunday (10/2), Long Loop (after Bonus Round), Short Loop, and Marian’s will be closed/ roped off due to an event on Boy Scout property. Once you get on the Bonus Round, use the shortcut connector to Jeff Robertson Expressway to avoid the closures.

Open. Please go through, not around, remaining wet areas.

Updates are pulled from the trail's Twitter account within a few minutes of being tweeted. Updates sourced from tweets do not have an open/closed status indicator.

New section open. Handshake Hill is no more. Please respect the new line and closure! 

Notice:   Upcoming Trail Closure for Youth Running Meet on Monday 10/3,  Noon-5:00

Hillside Park

Hoyt has a small section that is eroded close to the trail. Please use caution. 
The connector and Bubba's is good to go. 

9/30. Kaplan’s woods trail update. 
Trails are dry and fast.  

9/25: Over night rain for two straight nights. With the cool temps, may take longer to dry out.

NEW TRAILS OPEN!!

Best way to ride the whole enchilada is to just keep right at all intersections.  Angel Wing and Slippery Jack are now open for your Shredding Pleasure !  


Kiwanis is back open. Now through the fall season, we may not be able to do trail checks a frequently as we would like. So, if it rains and being the days are shorter, it may take a little longer to dry.  You may have to cut your ride short if you are picking up mud on the tires.

The trail dried out faster than anticipated. Gates OPEN. Go get it!

Lake Rebecca

Lebanon Hills

Your love to ride “deer trails” will help keep the Legion Trail system open and viable. The lack of use is allowing the grasses to grow heavily in the trails. Trees and brush were removed from most of the trail this week. Enjoy.

Open.

Remember to ride THROUGH the puddles, not around them.

Lone Lake Park

Excellent riding. Check out the new Gravity cavity just finished on Willinator. Ride it slow for a bit to let the soil harden up. Enjoy

Morning rain missed us keeping conditions dry and hardpack. Bootleg, North Loop Gnar and Feeling Lucking being cleared with leaf blower today. Second half Twin Lakes cleared earlier this week. Great fall riding in place for the weekend  with Autumn colors coming to fruition. 

Trails are in great shape and looking for use over the holiday weekend! Bugs are not very bad now either.

If you find trail issues or have questions, send us a message or leave us a comment. Happy trails!

Minnesota River Trail

Facebook banner post is now updated- Trails Open

FYI, at the moment FB banner update is giving an error message. Sorry for the confusion. 8/

Mission will open at noon today, please pass through any remaining wet spots.

Monarch Singletrack

The singletrack is great right now, but the leaves will soon be falling.. **NEW FEATURES** There are 3 new options in Section 1, just before the big teeter. The left choice is the hardest (uphill rock steps), the right choice has two options. If you stay far right you take the easier bypass around everything. If you take the middle lane you will need to ride across a skinny log over a pit. Have Fun! Look before you leap! Preride-Reride-Freeride. Remember, when it rains, give the singletrack time to dry out a bit. The EDGE LOOP around the outside of the singletrack is always open, regardless of conditions. BEWARE: Part of the Edge Loop is closed for road construction on the far (West) end of the park, along Fenning Ave.

Trails open, rain yesterday should should make for good riding. Was getting rather dry out there. Remember H.S.  Racing next weekend Oct 1st and 2nd.  Trails will be close through the weekend to the general public. Spectators are also welcome to cheer the racers on. Trails will be leaf blown of leaves in preparation for next weekend. Remember Mount Kato is pay per ride venue. Please honor the pay box at S.E. Corner of the chalet. Thank you and as always enjoy the ride! 

Murphy Hanrehan

Most excellent conditions on the trails. It would be a shame if you didn't get out there soon! 

Trails are still wet and some flood mess still needs to cleaned up. Trailwork Saturday 4pm. Working from Hampton Ave.
 Copied from the event: 
The trails are getting a little hairy. Come lend a hand and trim back the green monster. BYO hand pruner and/or lopper. Gas and electric string trimmers are welcome also. We may also have some trees to remove. We'll start at Hampton Ave, working on Oak Hill 2 and 3 first. If there's time, or enough folks to split into more groups, we'll tackle Oak Hill 1 from the Capitol Drive end. Dress to work. Marty (414)704-6350

The gap on the backside or south side has been marked. 

Get some!!
Ride through any lingering trail puddles… 👊🏻👊🏻

Salem Hills

The last section of trail has been blown off and the weekends rain has dried up. Trail is good to go. 

Heavy rain is predicted to move into NE Minnesota this evening and last all weekend.
This may not be a good weekend to ride Split Rock Wilds. 

Sunfish Lake Park

Terrace Oaks

Open - Area 36 trails will be closed Monday and Tuesday nights from 4-7pm for Trail Kids races. 

Theodore Wirth

If your local trails are closed due to the rain, come give Tioga Recreation Area a spin. The humidity this morning I saw keeping things damp, but will not affect the trails. We are open so you can ride.

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

**New whale tail feature installed on Platt trail...
