With temps getting into the 70s this week, trails could open soon!

If we are able to open the trails soon, this could be our earliest opening yet! That is exciting news. Please check back often to see when the trails are open. We know the weather is nice, but that doesn't always mean the trails are good to ride. So before you hop on that bike or get in the car to head to Theo, check out the homepage at http://www.mocatrails.org/ and make sure the trails are stated as open.

It would be a total bummer to get all the way to the trail head and see that gates closed. So please use the tools we provide to keep you informed of the trail status.

All this being said, we need volunteers for trailwork this year. Trailwork will be on every Wednesday starting at 5pm. Our first session is planned for April 7th at 5pm. Meet in the par 3 parking lot (remember that you can't park there without a parking permit).

Hope to see you on the trails soon!

Trails are closed during spring thaw.


There are a few areas with exposed dirt and others that will be exposed rather soon. Due to a lot of sun and temps over 40 this week, we lost a lot of the snow cover we had.

The new gates are closed and will be enforced. Once the spring thaw period is over and the trail harden up, we will be reopening them for summer. This typically happens sometime in late April or early May......depending on weather.
