New Trails are open now!

June 13, 2024

Badger and Chinquapin trails are now open and ready for riding. Chinquapin is an intermediate flow trail with lots of berms and small jumps. It is about 2 miles long and starts at J5.5 next to top of Nighthawk and ends at Shoalwater TH. There is about 1000 feet of climbing to the top of Chinquapin but the downhill is more than worth it. Badger is a intermediate cross country trail that climbs from lake level at the end of Queen of the Lake and ends about 3 miles later around the middle of North Star. Badger opens up a lot of new loops to ride in the center portion of Spence Mountain.

Spence Trail Building Season is Here

April 16, 2024

The Spring trail building season at Spence has arrived and Dirt Mechanics is hard at work. they are building a trail that connects the east side of Queen of the Lake up to the mid portion of North Star. the new trail will be around 3 miles in length and will climb from lake level (~4150 ft) at Queen to the high point on North Star (~4650ft). It will be intermediate difficulty and will allow for loops involving the new portion of Queen of the Lake completed last year. We will also finish Chinquapin trail this year. This trail is about 2 miles long and is an intermediate difficulty flow trail (lots of jumps, berms, and fun) that starts on Captain Jack above Junction 6 along with Nighthawk (black). It ends at the Shoalwater Trailhead. We will also start on the construction of Eagle Ridge Tr starting at the east end of Queen of the lake. This will be a traditional singletrack that will eventually cross most of the length of Eagle Ridge along the east side of Spence.

Trailhead Improvements at Spence Mountain

April 16, 2024

We have been improving both trailheads at Spence Mountain recently. The trailhead parking at Hwy 140 has been increased in size. This trailhead gets a lot of traffic and could use the improvements. The trailhead at Shoalwater bay has been almost doubled in size. This will allow much more parking for events and casual users. We will also install a vault toilet at Shoalwater later in the year.
