Map and Course Notes

Eldorado is fast grassy picnic areas. We will offer three point-to-point style courses:


White (Basic)  1.8 km   10 controls

Yellow (Intermediate)  4.3 km  16 controls

Additional Information

Note that we are not at the usual spot this year. We are instead at Sycamore Grove which is a little further around the road northeast of the lake. The parking at Sycamore Grove is a dead end lot. Buses may have difficulty and should park at the lot a little bit south (to the east of the lake).


This event does not count for scoring for this year's COOL League, but COOL memberships are available through registration. Existing COOL memberships from last season will expire prior to the first COOL League event.
