Good day Just passing on the news I post on the socials doesn’t come as a dramatic surprise. HW is conducting some Mulching operations to widen the roads. In order to be proactive and eliminate safety concerns there has been a combined decision between HW and Land Management to shut down from Nov 6 - Nov 9th 2024. Therefore trails will re open on the 10th. Any questions on the matter can be directed to myself via [chris\_nowlan@hotmail.com](mailto:chris_nowlan@hotmail.com) Regards The Farm ---

The Farm has had a few passes now with snowshoes. Snow has moisture in it so with a bit more traffic, conditions will be prime. Forecast going forward looks ideal. We’ll assist with more laps in the coming days. ![1000003521](https://ecmtb-uploads-bucket.s3.dualstack.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/original/3X/3/e/3ee7f8afe9d810d2975f741bf2144050fe3fe245.jpeg) ![1000003522](https://ecmtb-uploads-bucket.s3.dualstack.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/original/3X/8/4/84a2d1d9bbf2a2fb53dae28819fb4441e2c13c0a.jpeg) ![1000003523](https://ecmtb-uploads-bucket.s3.dualstack.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/original/3X/f/c/fcce37a381c2c2d01c75be0d0af0bd7beb3de5fb.jpeg) A fat bike luge track right here in the city. ---

There has been alot of snowshoe traffic. Should be good on fatbikes with low pressure. Please dont forget to sign in. Friendly reminder you must be a CNS member to ride there, or purchase a day pass. Cheers ---

Frozen ground with half inch of fresh powder is making for some luge track conditions. Studs recommended. ---

The Farm is hosting a Trail Build Day. June 21/22nd. We have 2 main projects to tackle, one of them being an existing amazing pro jumpline that will be tamed to the masses. We have an amazing volounteer willing to donate machine time to accomplish this. Please spread the word, and show up for an amazing cause. 🫡 ---

Finally made it to the farm for the first time in a while, trails in good shape, nice to see how they are evolving and to see names/signage! It looks like there is a development plan for where the golf centre is. Will be interesting to see how it impacts trail access and development, and the health of the lake itself. > **[PLANAPP 2025-00923 - Lake Loon Golf Centre Redevelopment](https://www.halifax.ca/business/planning-development/applications/planapp-2025-00923-lake-loon-golf-centre-redevelopment)** > > An application for a development agreement to enable a comprehensive, mixed-use, master planned community on lands off Main Street and Golf View Drive in in Dartmouth. ---

Let’s get in on the snowshoes and fatbikes. Conditions look promising to set up some nice tracks. [Previous page](https://ecmtb.net/t/topsail-lake-cns-mtb-trail-network-initiative/14337.md?page=4) [Next page](https://ecmtb.net/t/topsail-lake-cns-mtb-trail-network-initiative/14337.md?page=6)
