Trail Esker
This should be a one way only climbing trail for mountain biking. It’s always been ridden by mountain bikers. It’s dangerous to ride up New Esker because that’s a technical DH run. The last thing we need with increased MTB traffic is people riding up that. Riding up this Esker is safe, slow, direct, and won’t put hikers or bikers at risk.

Trail Cheap Trick
Super cool trail! This one has a really unique feeling with all the moss covered boulders scattered through the woods. Pretty good mix of dirt flow and boulder roll overs, with a beauty DH to finish it off.
