It’s back! CAMBA’s Festival of Trails is being REVIVED this year, with a weekend full of riding, games, food, and music planned for the second to last weekend in August. So many exciting things are happening in CAMBA-land right now, and what better way to celebrate our growing community than with a Festival!
Our trails are spread out through miles of endless woods, and- because of this- so too is the Festival.
Kick-off the weekend Friday evening with a meal at either the Sawmill Saloon in Seeley or South Shore Brewing in Washburn as you check-in and pick up your CAMBA nameplate. Then, spend the day Saturday exploring our trails while taking part in the FTR Stamp Hunt, the Trail Rogue Work Day Extravaganza at the OO Trailhead, and the Hatchery Hot-laps & Jumpline Photo-Shoot down at Hatchery. on Saturday, we’ll be serving up food, selling merch, and talking all things CAMBA at 3 different locations along our trails- Whiting Rd Trailhead (Ashwabay), OO Trailhead (Seeley), and at Hatchery (Hayward).
Sunday is the main event intended to bring the whole CAMBA community together. Tell your non-bike riding friends too because everyone is invited! Party location is the area outside of the new Mt Telemark Village building (42225 Telemark Rd, Cable, WI 54821).On Sunday we’ll have food, games, gravity riding, and Trapper Schoepp will be performing an outdoor concert 3pm – 5pm that you won’t want to miss!

The FTR Stamp Hunt is the scavenger hunt that ties the Festival of Trails Revival weekend together. Starting Friday evening, there will be rubber stamps hidden along 4 set routes that run through some of the best riding on our system. After registering and picking up their name plate, riders are encouraged to ride as many of the routes as they can before the Bucket Raffle drawing at Mt Telemark @ 2:30pm on Sunday, collecting stamps along the way that will be worth raffle tickets at Sunday’s Bucket Raffle. Stamp locations will be clearly marked with CAMBA-blue signage.
**The name plate alone will be worth 5 raffle tickets, with each additional stamp worth an extra 2 raffle tickets.**
