The beaver dam totally blew out again and destroyed our bridge crossing, so this is a good time to officially unveil several new trail sections and some re-direction on old trails to avoid this area.
The bridges over the beaver pond have been removed and are no longer passable and will not be replaced.
Instead, a new trail runs along the swamp all the way around to Flat Pass and continues to the blue ski trail, kicking you out near the Pines. You will see several sections of trail closed with caution tape and new arrows in key spots. Debris is piled up to close old trails and steer you onto the new ones. Please do not remove any of that.
The new trails are freshly leaf blown today, although the new trails need some finishing touches still to remove some small stumps and fill in some holes. The trail will be soft, but the only way to improve it is to ride it, so get out there!
The trail map is not accurate anymore, but the new trails are on Trailforks app, which is the best way to navigate in Forest Lea.
The Pines will get some new trail as well, to turn that into a cohesive loop, since we are entering it from the ski trail side now.
Plans for new signs next year.
