Our Trail Systems

  

Duluth Traverse Trail

The Duluth Traverse is the name we have given to COGGS' dream of having a multi-use, singletrack trail that is purpose built for mountain biking and completely traverses the entire 20 mile long City of Duluth.

This trail system will feature trail hubs with more extensive trail networks in Lester Park, Hartley Park, Piedmont-Brewer Park, Spirit Mountain and Mission Creek and then have trails connecting them all together.  Our goal for this system is to create the first 100+ mile system of singletrack all within an urban environment.  This will connect communities together via natural surface trails and also create an environment where everyone has trail access within a short distance of their home that they can walk, run or bike on.

We are seeking significant fundraising to make the Duluth Traverse come to fruition.  Typically estimates of the cost of building natural surface trails are $2,500/mile.  In order to complete the Duluth Traverse we will need to add 70 miles to our existing trail systems.  This should cost close to $200,000, so COGGS is seeking State and Federal grants to help fund this project.  For these projects COGGS will need to provide cash matches for the grants, so we are also seeking donations to our club to make this dream a reality.  Please donate to this cause if you feel that a multi-use, city wide singletrack trail in Duluth is something that would you would value.
