Cuyuna Lakes Mountain Bike Crew looking to future

The Cuyuna Lakes Mountain Bike Crew (CLMTBC or "Crew"), as an active partner with the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) and the International Mountain Bike Association (IMBA) is working to create a master vision for mountain bicycling in central Minnesota.

This will help answer the question, "What will the Cuyuna Lakes Ride Center be?"

The Master Visioning plan builds upon previous planning efforts like the 1995 Cuyuna Country State Recreation Area Management Plan and 2008 CCSRA Recreation Implementation Plan.

IMBA Trail Solutions is a partner in this process thanks to the help of Hansi Johnson, Regional Director of IMBA. IMBA provided the Crew a $5,000 grant to kickstart the Master Vision process. The Crew Board of Directors approved paying the remaining balance of the Master Vision project up to an additional $7,000.

“Light up the Dam” in Crosslake for the Holiday Season

Patty Norgaard of the Crosslake EDA is leading the effort to light up the dam in Crosslake for the holidays. “Crosslake has so much to offer, we want to highlight this landmark and create a festive and attractive destination community for holiday shoppers.”

Joe Doerfler reported that the Crosslake-Ideal Lions are very excited about the opportunity and will contribute up to $5,000 in matching funds to purchase lights, displays and holiday decorations.
