Rider questions

Q: Is it dog friendly?
A: Yes, leashes must be 6' or less.

Q: Do they close this track when it rains?
A: Unlike some trail systems, Cuyuna's soil is pretty stable after precipitation events. Hence, we do not update for every weather event. Trails are closed while it is raining and generally are open about 2 hours after the end of a rain event unless otherwise noted in our trail conditions.
