AwesomeIt is still amazing, it doesn't get much better for winter riding. The entire loop around the mound (Gneiss / Holy Schist) is packed, fun and fast . Over Lode is also packed and rideable but not quite as smooth. Enjoy when frozen. Make the trip out, it will be worth it. Good riding weather for the weekend, don't miss out on some of the best conditions in years.
As a general rule, when the local temperature reaches 30F (or less in direct sun), the trail surface will begin to turn soft and you'll start leaving an imprint. When the trail surface re-freezes, these imprints become hard ruts and potholes which can make the trail less enjoyable and even unrideable. Don't damage the trails by rutting the thawed surface with your tires or footwear. Poor on-site conditions will always override the trail conditions posted here. Always use good judgment when deciding when and where to ride.
Help by keeping the trails clear, and reporting obstacles and other issues. Check the BMSP DNR website or call the park for information on bathrooms, water access, and camping. Please carry out anything you carry in, observe safe distancing, and keep group numbers to the minimum possible. It should go without saying that pets are expected to stay on-leash, and their waste leaves with their owner. Thanks!

AwesomeStill rockin out there. Cooler this week, with a little refresher snow for good measure. Almost every inch of CamRock is groomed to perfection right now, by either machine or snowshoe. Many of the berms are even groomed. Let’s hope it these conditions keep on coming!
Please be aware of the new trail work and trail additions; oh and join/donate to CORP if you are lovin' these trails! That's how you get more of them 😉
Remember,
social distancing is still important on the trails. Be respectful of other users and ride well within your limits. And ride with a a buff or mask for emergencies.

Freeze/ThawThe trails were in great shape on Thursday -- thanks to those who snowshoe-packed the steeper trails.
Be careful when temperatures rise. Please - no ruts, no post holes, nor spread mud. Shout out if you are interested in winter grooming and winter trail prep.

Packed SnowMain loop is firmly packed and pretty smooth; probably rideable on regular tires. Other trails are variable. Jumps are slow.

Packed SnowSnow from the 18th is packed and the trails are riding fantastic....at least the groomed trails.
Please, please, please use good judgment and don't ride if you're leaving ruts. If it is 30 or above, it is likely too soft.
Avoid parking at trailhead if the lot is full. Also, please don't park in the neighborhood next to the trails. The idea is to park somewhere else so there won't be a crowd and you won't be giving anyone a reason to complain. Or ride over, it's easy to get to the park from almost anywhere in the area via bike routes. Thanks!

physical distancing is still important on the trails. Be respectful of other users and ride well within your limits.

Packed Snow Both loops are rolling good and well packed in.
DO NOT JUMP THE CONSTRUCTION FENCING! They greased it and it’s messy. Trust me! Starting 12/7/20 and continuing for the better part of a year, the Velo Underround and portions of the Cannonball and Military Ridge Paths will be closed due to sewer main construction. Access to Seminole from Capital City trail should be unaffected. From the Badger State trail, use the southern exit ramp. It should be pretty apparent.

Packed SnowThanks to the local snowshoers the trails are well packed.
Please use good judgement and don't ride if you're leaving ruts. Please don't ride on the trails when they are wet or soft.
Reminder: the main trail is the easy route and marked with green signs. The blue sections require a little more skill. If you are unsure, walk them first and then give them a try.
Remember,
social distancing is still important on the trails. Be respectful of other users, ride well within your limits, and stay on designated trails.

Packed SnowA fresh crew just packed in the main trails last night and the conditions today will be stellar!!! Entrance sign is up and there are a few maps within the trails to help guide you.
These are human/rider -packed trails only so be aware of variable conditions all over the park. Please do not ride when leaving ruts and do not ride when temps are over 30 degrees.
Do not park in the apartment complex, park up the street on Wayridge dr.
Remember to practice good social distancing. Wear a mask. Keep your distance and be respectable to the neighbors.
