Jeff of the Midwest Mountain Bike Fest and our buds at Lazer Sports donated the helmet. Crew partners All-Ways Painting funded the custom wrap, and our friends at Paint by Pisgah in North Carolina made it one-of-a-kind.

→ The porta-potty you helped fund is officially in place at the 128 Trailhead. We’re hoping this means we will no longer have to witness things on the trail cams that our eyes cannot unsee.

→ Reminder: If you’ve got an organized group over 20 folks out riding, you’re going to need a permit through the DNR. Them’s the rules. More FAQ’s: https://www.cuyunalakesmtb.com/faq

New here? Let us introduce ourselves. We're the Cuyuna Lakes Mountain Bike Crew, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit. You know, the folks fixing berms, clearing trees, w**d whipping trails, discussing dirt, and doing our best to keep the singletrack shreddy.

Our trails are volunteer-powered and community-backed. Crew volunteers work alongside our DNR Trails Officer in the Cuyuna Country State Recreation Area and are 100% responsible for maintaining Cruser's Kettle and the Cuyuna Connector.

If you've enjoyed the trails, consider helping us keep them rolling 👉 https://www.cuyunalakesmtb.com/donate

Need a bike? Red Raven and Cykel both offer rentals.

We're stoked you're here. See you on the dirt!
