Trail Detail
Notes
Small park near the end of the Gateway Trail. There is beautiful scenery with trails winding through pine forest, and near small lakes and picturesque farms. The course is quiet, sheltered, and has a lot of fun roling hills. Most of the terrain is intermediate in difficulty.Trail Reports

A crazy quilt of grooming - a classic track will take you on a trail for about 300 yards and then disappear randomly, never to return. Finally gave up!

There is good snow cover. The trails on the north side of Gateway Trail are very good. It was upsetting to find that the nice grooming and tracks on the south side of gateway trail have been messed up by a 2-track vehicle driving criss-cross across the tracks.

Ski trails have been groomed with tracks set! There may be some thin spots and some icy patches but otherwise they are looking good!

Disappointing - Tracks were claimed to have been set but they were only set on the dead flat sections. The track setter had been intentionally lifted on even the slightest uphills and for 100 feet at all intersections. Plenty of coverage. Saw some skaters on this supposed classic only trail. It appears they are grooming wider than the tracked area. Possibly for a skate lane?

Grooming [ Trails: Closed, ]

The decision has been made to close the ski trails until we get more substantial snow. It has been found to be too icy and dangerous as of this afternoon.

All trails rolled, but no classic tracks groomed. A trail overrun with walkers boot marks making trail rough. B trail mostly consistent with minimal walker damage. Icy spots and bare spots on both trails. MN DNR, as usual, has not groomed the Gateway Trail.
