I apologize if this has been addressed this year but has there been any change on reopening the Freda loop?

Lot of work needed and not much urgency to repair with no businesses or destinations in the loop. Was a fun loop, but let’s be honest, it only got ridden because people got sick of the railroad grade.

We always enjoyed the loop and down to Redridge, hopefully somehow it can be reopened. There is a bunch of history in that area.

Guy who runs one of the UP sledding pages on FB, who is a groomer for KTS, says he has heard the Freda loop is planned and next up after 3 is fixed.

Seems like the info on the Freda loop is all over the place. Would be a god-send to get some sled traffic pressure off of 3 north of H/H. Riding 3 between H/H and Twin Lakes has become pretty hellish. I’m damn near to the point of trailering to avoid it if I want to ride on the other end of wherever I’m staying, but maybe I’m a weenie.

Then there was that brief few days a month or so ago where “trail 109 will be open again!!!” back to “whoops, maybe not”. Haven’t heard much more there.

that's really good news! and agree on the alleviation of traffic, always preferred the Freda loop over just going in a straight line, really liked how it twisted through the woods

As to trail 109, there will never be any kind of a "FIX" to it, unless they get it away from the Bum Baraga No Groomers! Period!
