THE THEILMAN TRAILRIDE---SOME OF THE FINEST RIDING FOUND
IN MINNESOTA!
The 2010 Fall Trail Ride will be held Sept 11th & 12th
ALL camping will be at the West campground from now on. That is the larger area that we've been using the last several years.
PLEASE NOTE:
Due to some recent rain storms, a small percentage of the Zumbro Bottoms trails received serious damage, and have been tentatively closed. Repairs are in process, and trails are being reopened as they are repaired. Currently all of the trails near the West Assembly are open, and about 75% of the trails on the East side of the bridge are open. The DNR and the Golden Eagles are working hard to get the rest of the trails open as quickly as possible.
Check for updates at this ARMCA webpage.
The DNR is forbidding bringing of any unapproved firewood into any state run campground due
to the ash emerald beetle risk. So you can NOT bring your own firewood this year unless it from a DNR certified seller.
Gathering down wood in the State Forest remains acceptable and there is plenty of it around
to gather and cut. Many Kwik Trips sell DNR approved wood.
Minor Release Forms: If a minor release
form is brought to the trail ride with a minor and a guardian is not
present, this release form MUST be notorized.
Pancake Breakfast hosted by the Twin City Trail Riders! Saturday and Sunday from 7:30 – 10:00 am, @ the West Campground.
All registration, sound checks, etc. will be at the big West Assembly area as it has been the past
couple of years. We do NOT have any ability for pre-registering, all registration is handled at the trailride itself.
Where:
Take County Road 4 either north from Hwy 42 near Plainview, MN or south
from Hwy 60 to Theilman, MN. Take County Road 86 Northeast through the
town of Theilman. You will come to a Y about 1.5 miles down 86. Stay
right at the Y to the campground/signup area. It will be well arrowed
so just follow arrows.
Camping available at staging area, no hook ups
but there will be a charge for camping at all DNR campgrounds in this
unit this year. This charge is per camping unit (5 folks in a tent or 1
in an RV is the same charge, for example), not a per vehicle charge.
The DNR camping fee is $16 per night.

Not all of these trails will be used, but it gives you a good idea of
how much riding we have to offer!

permit from the DNR for our event that exempts out of state riders from
needing to buy a MN offroad sticker. This exemption is only for our
event. Copies will be available at signup and you need to have it with
