The Main Parking Lots on both the West and East sides of Whiskey Run Road will be closed today (Thursday 1/14/21). County forestry and Ptarmigan Ptrails will be working with heavy machinery and felling trees to expand the parking area, making way for new pit toilets and more parking spots. If you are out riding today, please avoid these areas for your safety and the safety of the crews working.
Park at the upper parking area off Wing and a Prayer or down at The Snag. Do not ride up the Hollerback Connector/Entrance and avoid the middle section of Copperhead Road after Papa Wheelie (exit out the dirt road to the paved road if you need access).
As always, thank you for your cooperation as we continue to grow our trail system. Also, look forward to some Trail Work Parties starting in February- and email blast will be sent out, so be sure to sign up for our newsletter!
We hope you can spend some time outdoors enjoying some singletrack and eating lots of cookies!
Whiskey Run End of the Year Update!
Toilets Toilets Toilets!
Parking Lot Expansion!
New Trails!
Toilet Info: We are most thankful this year that the county commissioners and county forester have agreed to install not just one, but two, concrete outhouse-style toilets on the south side of the Main Parking Lot.
Parking Lot Info: In addition to the MUCH needed commodes, county forestry and local trail builder, Ptarmigan Ptrails, will be expanding the Main Parking Lot on both sides of Whiskey Run Road. See the image below.
New Trail Info: After the toilets and parking lot expansion, the county will have some left over funds to add additional trail to the Phase 1 Side (NW Side). Ptarmigan Ptrails and the WRCMBA volunteers are hoping to build a connector trail off the top of Hollerback/Sour Mash that will parallel W. Beaver Hill Road and connect across the road to the top of Copperhead Road trail. As always, be mindful of crew and equipment out working this coming new year, and stay clear of un-opened/not-yet-complete trail!
Holiday Donations Greatly Appreciated
If you’d like to donate to the mountain bike club as part of your end of the year gift giving, we would love the support as we look to some exciting projects in Curry and Coos county for 2021 and beyond. Click our Trail Karma via TrailForks and give the gift of more trails this year!
Also don’t forget to check your IMBA club membership. I just set mine up to “auto-renew” so I don’t forget each year to renew my Club Membership. You can sign up as a family or individual; and there’s additional space to donate more than the membership dues if you’d like. Thank you, so much, from all of us at WRCMBA for your continued support since our founding in 2016. We have been able to accomplish so much for our rural coastal communities through the trails. Keep it up coasties, we are so proud of our community! [Visit IMBA.COM and click on Supporter Log In at the top right]
Thanks for your patience as the Coos County reopened the trails after the recent CFPA closures. We are thankful for the recent rains to help ease our high fire dangers.
Please be respectful of any muddy spots. If it’s too wet, ride different trails.
And as always- NO SMOKING on county forest lands!
We also have a Whiskey Run Trail maintenance scheduled for Saturday, October 10th at 11am, main lot. So if you have been enjoying the trails and want to lend a hand to keep them awesome, we could use your help! Look for the tool trailer at the main lot.
