Trail Conditions

Open
caution
The ski trails at Mountain View have been mowed and are looking great thanks to a local volunteer! ​Our singletrack trails are also in great condition. Just a heads-up, with the fall season arriving there will be lots of leaves, acorns, scattered sticks and branches on the trails. Please use extra caution. We only have one reported downed tree, so if you see it, please go over or around it safely. ​Reminder for all trail users: Please be considerate and respectful of the trails, especially after rain. Removing sticks and branches is a huge help! ​Join our group ride this Wednesday at 6:30 p.m. Bring a bar light—we'll be riding past sunset!

Overview

Mountain view sIngletrack is apx 6 miles of classic hand built mountain bike trails with an abundance of natural technical features. Rock gardens, tree roots and plenty of rolling hills make this a naturally challenging ride; much like the trails at our neighbors at Maplelag and Black's Grove in Wadena. These trails are in contrast to the awesome machine built trails at the neighboring Detroit mountain facility. Riders can enjoy the challenging "slow tech" trails at Mountain View and then jump on the connector trail to the faster "flow trails" at Detroit mountain. The best of both worlds combined in one ride! The trails are sectioned on the map as #1-14. Beginners may want to try sections 1 through 5 easy route and then at the 5 expert- 13 ez intersection take 13 ez to the parking lot.
