SaveAugust 27,2022 update: The crew has completed work for the season on phase 1 of a major re-route of the historic Moose trail. Lower Moose and the Viewloop are ready and a portion of Phase 2 is rideable but please respect the the closed sign and don't hike thru to connect to Beaver. Next year we will complete the last section and finish the upper section to the same level as Lower Moose. The goal is to create an attractive uphill access that is an alternative to Dei Kwann and the road as a way up and away from the contamination issues at the former site of the Arctic Gold and Silver ore concentrator (big open area at mid mountain). If riding or shutting in this area please don't stop, or block the gates and be aware that air-borne dust from the site is best to be avoided.
Because the crew have been busy with new construction the rest of the trails on the mountain are open are due to the work of several local volunteers so please respect their efforts and help out by carrying a folding saw and stopping to move deadfall. It's also really helpful to log any major issues on Trailforks by using the trail report function.
The crew is hoping to get back on the trails late this fall to install some boardwalks, and some other cool improvements but first we will be finishing up a new loop trail at the Conrad Campground that we roughed in during the spring before things got to busy.
Users are reminded that Mountain Biking is a high risk sport and be mindful of strategies to reduce risk (posted on the area maps located around the network as well as in the Trail Guide pamphlet).
