Update 5.12.08
Toejammer trail is open!
Toejammer has been cut out and is open for hiking, biking and bird watching. This trail features a rarely enjoyed overlook, and takes visitors across Salt Pond Ridge and through astounding boulder gardens. Cyclists will enjoy the combination of fast swooping trails with technical challenges and alternate lines through the boulders. More work is planned before the Dirty Dawg in June - come out and pitch in!
New disc golf course construction underway!
Saturday our volunteers commenced work on the first 9 holes of our planned professional level course. The challenging topography is laced with rocks, trees, and ferns. We are looking for local sponsorship to help us fund the baskets and tees. For more info download this file...

The Mountain Lake Conservancy is currently working on a "Trail Access Program" to open up our multi-use trails to the public on a year-round basis. Users will be able to access the trails from a parking lot designated specifically for trail use. Year round passes will be sold at various outdoor outfitters in the area. Day-use will also be permitted with a small fee. Trails are now available for cross-country skiing, mountain biking and hiking.
More details coming soon!
