Great trail preserves the glory of olde tyme Chester trails with modern trail design and sustainably. As someone who biked Duluth in the 90s, revisiting town I really appreciate the folks who built and maintain these trails. Great work, a real asset to the community.

Feels very remote, nothing but you, the bears, and the woods. The bottom end has dramatic hairpin turns overlooking steep forested ravines.

-sad face- The chunky jank on the switchback near Kenwood Ave was recently capped with smooth-riding gravel. I suppose, as part of the DT this IS supposed to be an easy/green level trail.

Very fun trail. It gets a little on the chunky side, for an easy 'green' level trail. Great place to progress your skills if you're starting to progress beyond the beginner stuff!

I didn't this trail would amount to much, but it was the best trail I rode on my ride. The bottom part towards the trailhead was great. It had nicely built table top jumps. It was nice to see that I was clearing all the jumps on just my first lap. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking to hit some greatly built jumps.

despite what the elevation profile shows, this is an old railroad grade, so nearly flat

The elevation profiel shows a few peaks. These are errors. As a former railroad grade, the trail is nearly flat.

Decent shape although the boardwalk across the meadow is getting sketchy with some melting.
