Lake Yahou was just opened up in May 2022 for recreational use. We are lucky enough to be the first trail race starting at the lake. If you ran our McClellan Madness race, then you are familiar with the other side of the mountain where we will have an aid station.
The trails are comprised of (for the most part) non-technical, single-track dirt. Obviously, itâs nature, so there are rocks and roots. The trail is very runnable for new and seasoned trail runners with just a few spots that have rocks/boulders.
