It's hard not to find something to enjoy at Cuyuna. The trails get better every year, good trailhead facilities and parking, and good signage. The trails are a lot less jump oriented than Bentonville, running more to the techie side, and a bit narrower as well. Cuyuna will continue to evolve and grow.

It's especially nice to see continued growth in the supporting towns. More food options, a brewery and pubs. Need more camping options. Definitely worth putting on your radar!

This pump track is a hidden gem in the Cuyuna area. With loads of dirt trails, hills, mounds and more tucked into a relatively small area, it offers lots of opportunity for practice and fun.

Such a fun place! There is a public pump track and small playground here. There is a small campground with separate areas for RV and tent camping. The place is very well kept and we were bug free! We camped in the RV area. Nice big spaces made it easy to park. The pump track was a little muddy and had some puddles, so we personally used it sparingly but it was big and fun.

The place is very well kept and we were bug free! We camped in the RV area. Nice big spaces made it easy to park. The pump track was a little muddy and had some puddles, so we personally used it sparingly but it was big and fun. Restrooms and showers were clean and everything worked well. Would be nice if the spot we were in was a bit more level, but all in all it was very nice. Would stay again!
