A network of groomed winter routes suitable for fat biking. All grooming is done by volunteers on an as-required basis. Most routes are maintained by motorized grooming, while a few others are occasionally maintained by snowshoeing. Snowshoes and nordic/backcountry skis are welcome on the groomed trails, but we ask hikers to please refrain from walking on the groomed surfaces when soft, to avoid "postholing" the surface.
Primary Trail Type: Cross-Country
Land Status: Crown Land
