Description:
**Currently I would NOT recommend this area for riding until serious trail maintenance work has occurred.**
Went to explore Mill Creek today, not knowing what to expect due to lack of trail beta. This area has a lot of potential, but is in dire need of maintenance to get it back to the gem it probably once was. Several large trees down across the trails, trails are difficult to see due to being overgrown with grass, there are some low wet areas that would need to be addressed and many TTFs have fallen into disrepair. The original trail builders did a phenomenal job and some sturdily-built ramps and jump takeoffs are still very solid. I am not sure who the original trail builders were, but kudos, and hopefully a group might adopt this area in the future and restore it for riding.
Rode/walked/crawled through numerous downed trees on Lotsa Drops. A chainsaw is required to clear the deadfall from the trail, which is also very overgrown with grass. The trail description is accurate however, there are numerous huge (I mean HUGE) drops on this trail. The woodwork is still very solid considering its age, but landing zones are a little disheveled, and runouts are short due to the amount of deadfall. This trail has so much potential to please mega senders, if restored!
