accident near bents camp
- Thread starter snake
- Start date
I believe that accident happened on Merril Lake just northwest of the Forest Lake Country store which is a popular shortcut to get to Bents Camp. I heard the rider broke his arm. Also due to the accident the town chairman decided to berm up access to the lake which IMO was not cool since now you have to ride the road (Forest Lake) to get to the trail that comes out on the other side of the lake. I as well as a lot of others have been using that lake for a long time and I think I have been on the trail once since it was open just to check for blow-downs.

Kind of a gray area, Merril Lake was never the trail (as far as I remember) but I'm not sure who it belongs to (will have to check my plat book) so the club really has no say as they have access west of the lake (the actual trail)...now for the kicker the town chairman was the trail boss last year...some politicing going on here for sure
yep..all the way to Bents and the road out to the T intersection where you either go to presque isle or boulder I think it is Trail 7 & 5, been a while since I've been down there due to it being a lot of road and sometimes is plowed all the way and during trail work days we normally do not get that way.
