Come out to Matanuska Brewing in Eagle River on Sunday February 10th 6:30-8:30pm and help us pick some real trail names for the Mirror Lake Singletrack!
Yep, the colors were always meant as a temporary thing. Our Grand Opening is June 1st, and we need to get our maps and signs ready.
We’ll be drinking beers and brainstorming upstairs, so please stop by!
Merry Masher results are in! (Ranking is prioritized by initial choice of division, racers who switched divisions are ranked in order at the end) Thanks Bob and Meg for timing!
Our brand new 2018 Merry Masher course offers a great sampling of what Mirror Lake has to offer. Flat lake riding, a couple long hill climbs, some nice rolling doubletrack and a few sections of tight singletrack.
If you’re looking for a quick beginner-friendly WINTER-ONLY loop, we recommend riding the old 2.5k doubletrack loop shown below. It avoids the hill climbs and the twisty singletrack sections. You can extend the loop by two miles by riding around Edmonds (1 mi.) and Mirror (1 mi.) Lakes.
