First time on it. Great flowy trail. Very nicely built berms. Good for a shorter, less challenging, second lap after doing the Maple Syrups.

I used this trail to get to Phloem from Upper Maple Syrup.
Did the job and not a bad trail on its own.

Fun and flowy trail on the top and into a clearcut. Then through a darker forest, not too challenging, but nice ride.

Encountered some dirt bike bros climbing the trail, politely told them to frig off. Thier excuse was that recent logging had ruined the local Moto trails, so they decided to ride phloem instead. I guess they entered off a fire road and didn't see signage saying non motorized traffic only. They where not the brightest chaps.

This trail is great for families with kids learning to ride because it's pretty smooth, not many roots.

My son (5.5, strong for his age) walked the ups and rode most of the down bits.
