Description

Lake Storey Trail System is made up of various singletrack loops, connected at times by paved bike paths or open grass sections. The trails traverse numerous drainages around the lake. They are tight and flowy with various wooden features added to keep things interesting. A large portion of LSTS traverses within feet of the lake edge, providing beautiful views while riding.

The park is open till midnight, so night riding is open all year long. Trails are meticulously maintained by a local group of riders all year long, regardless of season. They are built by mountain bikers, and used by riders and hikers alike. Trails are true singletrack, and built to be mountain bike trails. You can always bet the trails will be in great shape, and ready to rip!

Check with Lake Story Mountain Bikers facebook group for trail conditions and any questions you may have. Repair issues, down trees, or any other issues can be reported to facebook group. All trail maintenance is done and supplies purchased by a small amount of volunteers so please be respectful. Lastly, as with any trail, don't ride when it's wet!
