Bear Creek Update

We are in the process of putting in some new trail that re-routes you around some low-lying wet sections that need some time to dry out. Most of the work is currently being done on the back side of the mountain in and around the plank bridges and after the tree bridge. The closed trails will be marked and blocked. At some point we will re-open the trails as another route option but some of the areas just need to be left alone for a while to dry out. I think you will like the new trail.

On trail 1 after the minging roads and before the boneyard gate, the upside of the bridge had been very washed out. We filled in the washed out section with dirt and added water bars to deflect water.

Trail 2 by the boneyard had been pretty washed out just at the boneyard. We filled that entire area in with dirt, re-graded the road and put in some drainage so that the water does not flow down the trail. It turned out great.

If you have been on the trails at BC in the last 3 weeks you may have noticed some disc golf holes sprouting up. Bear Creek has actually purchased 36 holes. We are in the process of installing 18 holes now and should be open by the beginning of June. Most of the holes are on the slopes but there are a few in the woods by the pond. We do have signs up but just be alert when riding through that area. It's pretty open in there so everyone should be able to see everyone. Disc golf is free to the public. There will most likely be another Kiosk for disc golf in lot 4

Bear Creek is also in the process of buying some GPS unites and Caches and will be having Geocaching on site. This should be up and running by next week. We will log the coordinates on geocaching.com.

The Muddy Bear is a 2 person Dualathon that is scheduled for June 19. The Muddy Bear combines mountain biking, trail running and teamwork to compete. For more information go to our website at www.bcmountainresort.com
