We NEVER report on the conditions of the lake.

All local roads are shelved for riders and sidewalks are also open for sleds.

🚨 Heads Up – Trail Conditions & Business Hours Update 🚨

🛑 Trail Conditions:
As the day goes on, riders may notice bumps and holes developing on the trails. This is completely normal—we groom overnight, but with heavy sled traffic, conditions will naturally change.

🔹 If you hear repeated concerns about specific spots needing attention, please let me know so I can update my crew. They will be working throughout the weekend.
📩 Email me at alex@mylonglake.com.

🌊 Water Spots Alert:
With slightly warmer temps, some narrow wooded sections may develop water holes. Groomers are actively working to push and pull snow into these areas to build up low spots.
