Demo bikes are often available from local bike shops (Central District Cyclery and Alger Bikes) on Tuesdays and Thursdays for $5 (at least in 2017-2018 winter). US Fat Bike Nationals were held here in January 2017 and scheduled again for January 2018. This trail is similar to the nationals route. Fat bikes only with tires 4" or wider.

Stop in at the club house for a single pass ($5) or a season pass ($30). Refreshments are also served in the clubhouse and it's a great place to hang out with fellow fat bikers.
