Barts Dark Forest trail was reworked in 2017 by the RMOW Trail Crew. This flowy blue trail connects Emeral Forest, River Runs Through It North and South and eventually Rainbow Park. This multi-use trail has a few black options and wood features to keep it fun and interesting that can be ridden in either direction but best North to South.
Access Info
Accessed a number of ways: From Westside Road, or from A River Runs Through It (North), or cross the street after riding Rebob northbound or Get Over It southbound.

Cool flow trail with smooth berms, small jumps and sick wooden features. Lots of fun!

Great trail for beginners who want to build confidence and practice TTFs (all optional). Love doing laps on this trail.

Trail signage (and MTB Project) indicates this is part of A River Runs Through It. I’m not a local, so I don’t know why it’s named differently here, but it caused a little confusion for us as we got started.

This is an old logging road that's been remodelled. RRTI uses this logging road as part of the trail
