Description:
In contrast with the trail description as "on par with the 7 summits" I would describe this trail as "a slog" at best.
I started at Beaver Lake Road and "rode" south. I only made it 8km before abandoning and taking the logging road network down. Of those 8 km, I would guess at least half are muddy, swampy, blown out quad track.
The "singletrack" sections would then make up 3, maybe 4 km. In those kilometers, I counted 43 trees down across the trail that required dismounting. There were 2 unridable bogs, and 2 major creek crossings that were each composed of a semi-ridable descent, sketchy log crossing, and hike a bike back out. Riding with a GPS with the track loaded, I still went off route twice due to the abundant quad track network and near-absent route signage.
10/10 would recommend to a Trump supporter.
