Winter Riding Tips!

ATTENTION TRAIL USERS: Please Read!

Please be aware of ever constantly changing conditions of the trails during the winter months. Often times the trail surface will be frozen and solid in the morning but thawed and wet during the afternoon. Please note that if you are leaving tracks on the trails while hiking or riding or there is mud on your shoes or bike, then you are doing damage to the trail.

Sometimes it's best to just turn around and call it a day. Damage to the trail is very difficult to repair and can be considered vandalism/destruction of park property. All trails are maintained by volunteers not the Land Manager.

Thank you for your help!!!

Earn Your Dirt
LOSPrago_big.jpgGood Trails Don't Build Themselves!

The trails need you!

Did you know there are more than 100 miles of singletrack trail in the Kansas City region, all of which is built and maintained by volunteers like you!

ERTA and the Earth Riders Mountain Bike Club worked together to create the Earn Your Dirt program.  It's a coordinated effort to direct and promote trail building activities throughout the trail building season.

Volunteers will learn sustainable trail building techniques from our local experts, and gain a connection to the trail that you can't get in any other way.

Put in more than a few hours and you'll be set to receive some nice thank you gifts at the end of the year.  We've had as many as 40 people helping out at once. 

Come on out.  You're sure to see a friend or two, or even make some new ones!

UPDATE HOTLINE: (816) 377-3037
