Lightly used connector between Deadman Road near Killpecker trail and the Beaver Meadows trail network that follows the North Fork of the Poudre river.

Access Info

From Frontier in the Beaver Meadows network look for the trail to the east of the river. From the Deadman Road end, follow fire road 162 to its end at a campsite by the river. Look for a large de-barked log blocking access to the singletrack section. This trail can be difficult to follow in places due to insufficient use.

This trail is unsanctioned.

Cleared most of the downed trees. There is one tangle left at the Deadman end that takes some bushwhacking to get around, but otherwise riding OK.

 Trees a still down across trail in many places. Most are small and could be removed with a hand saw.

      Will def agree that this is hard to follow in a place or two though not terrible. A few hours with a chainsaw would help things. And with so little use and care, begs the question, why does this trail even exist. Backdoor into the resort trails?

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
