First, the Arrowhead 135 Ultramarathon runs on the Arrowhead trail Monday, Jan 31, to Wednesday, Feb 2, from International Falls to Lake Vermilion.  Watch out of fat tire bikers, skiers and hikers competing in this 135 mile race. 

We have lots of snow, warmer temps coming and the trails are in AWESOME shape - riding here is as good as it gets! All area (International Falls area, Ash River/ Kabetogama, Orr and Crane Lake) groomers are out multiple trips per week to keep trails in wonderful condition. A big salute to the groomer drivers for the great job!  Problem areas from earlier posts are all taken care of, and extra trips will be run in some of the high traffic areas to ensure they are ready for everyone to enjoy some of Minnesota’s and the Midwest’s best trails.

In the Park, the Lake trails are being groomed and portages are being groomed also.  The Chain of Lakes and Kettle Falls trails are open and groomed as well.

The Arrowhead trail from International Falls all the way south is in great shape and is a very fun ride.

The Bill Morgan trail is groomed and in great shape to the garage. We finished widening the trail from the garage to Ash River today and it will be much better for visibility and safety.
