Conservation
Trails are largely maintained by local volunteers—stay on designated trails, pack out waste, and avoid riding closed sections to protect fragile soils and plants.

Arrive Early for Fit and Setup
Plan to arrive 15–30 minutes before your reservation to complete waivers and get suspension and sizing dialed.
Carry a Minimal Repair Kit
Bring a spare tube, pump/CO2, and a multi-tool—many trails are remote enough that self-rescue speeds your day back on track.
Pick Lines Conservatively at First
Cuyuna mixes flow and technical rock; run the easier lines on your first lap to warm into the bite of local rock gardens.
Respect Trail Etiquette and Closures
Stay on designated routes and heed seasonal closures—trail work and wet conditions can close sections quickly.
Helmet
A certified mountain bike helmet is required and protects across the network’s technical descents.
Hydration pack
Carry at least 1.5–2 liters of water and room for tools and a jacket.
Spare tube + pump or CO2
Fast flats are common on sharp, rocky sections—repair kit keeps you riding.
Trail-ready gloves and knee pads
Light protection boosts confidence on fast berms and when testing new lines.
