Trail Detail
Notes
Mcnaughton Lake Trail follows old logging roads around three lakes and has very few steep hills. It is very scenic and an excellent trail for a beginner. A five and a half mile loop is groomed for skating. There is a shelter with a fire ring on the trail.Trail Reports

A small amount of snow fell yesterday. I groomed the skaters loop with the groomer and the wet spot has frozen over. A few spots of soil pulled up into the base. All other loops had shallow tracks set. Need more snow to level out the dips and undulations in the base. Fair to good conditions.

All loops packed today. No bare spots noticed. Wet area on the Red/Skaters loop just after leaving the trailhead. More snow and the colder weather predicted will greatly increase trail conditions.

Several inches of snow fell today. All loops have been packed with the roller. Good starting base with no bare spots. Two small wet areas on the trail. One just past Helen lake and the other is just after you leave the trailhead on the Red/skaters loop. No tracks set.

About 4 inches of wet snow overnight, so we give McNaughton a try. It was skiable, no wax skis with Maxi-Glide. The glide at first was pretty good but as the day went on our skis got stickier. There were rocks and sticks to avoid. The flocked tress were beautiful and was great to be skiing the first week of November around home. Lets hope this is the start of a very long snowy winter.
