The connector trail is marked with a YELLOW horse shoe.
It will be on the EAST side of the staging area, up towards the entrance. It is a very wide path along the powerlines.
This connector trail puts you directly on the 6 mile no matter which way you take it (north or south).
There is NO need to road ride to access any trails at our park unless you choose to. All trails connect in some way. It is up to you how you ride or do not ride them.
I can't make a work bee, how can I volunteer?

Weeds, shrubs, trees, bushes... they never stop growing. Just like tree's and their limbs will never stop falling.
Trail maintenance is truly a 24x7, 365 day job.
That is no exaggeration. Mother nature does not take a break just because we do.
The best way you can help when you can't make a work-bee is to carry a pair of trimmers in your saddle bag. Trim while you ride. Or get down and move a tree that's in the way if you can. Pick up trash.
Work bees are when we are able to use large equipment to really get big jobs done. And the more helping hands, the faster it goes.
But we understand that not everyone can make our work bee dates (See events tab for upcoming work bees).
Please note: You are not allowed to go out on trails with a chainsaw or any type of heavy equipment without 1st having a proper permit and have taken a course to operate a chainsaw. You should always contact the DNR or YSTRA before doing anything beyond just some standard trimming of trails.
