MORC/IMBA is a not-for-profit volunteer organization dedicated to safeguarding the future of mountain biking in Minnesota through the promotion of responsible riding, establishment and maintenance of mountain biking trails, and preservation of Minnesota’s natural resources. To date MORC maintains over 75 miles of trail in the Twin Cities metro area.
The Trails are designated as IMBA Bronze Ride Center. The first in the nation, and now 1 of 6 designated Ride Centers in the country. According to the MN DNR website, the Cuyuna Mountain Bike Trail System dips, dives and weaves across more than 800 acres of Cuyuna Country State Recreation Area. With over 30 purpose-built routes to choose from, everyone from beginner to pro can enjoy the breath-taking rides and overlooks. The trails are enhanced by the deep-red soil, turquoise mine lakes, and white bark of the aspen and birch trees. When taking a break from the exhilarating descents, mountain bikers can watch for bald eagles, red-tailed hawks, beavers and other wildlife.
