Local signage calls this one “Lucy’s point” rather than Backstretch. About half of this trail is relatively tame singletrack and the other half is moderately gnarly rocks and roots. Nice views throughout.

Backstretch is a 2 mile moderately popular blue singletrack trail located near Saratoga Springs New York. This mountain bike primary trail can be used both directions. On average it takes 23 minutes to complete this trail.
