In 2021 the section known as Middle Black was rerouted due to the continuous erosion and trail widening that was happening on its former line. Pisgah Area SORBA and Singletrack Trails have worked together to create a sustainable trail allowing users access for years to come. The trail is freshly build so it is fast and flowy with a mix rock rolls short rock gardens and plenty of grade reversals.
Black Mountain Trail is split into 4 sections (Upper/Upper, Upper, Middle and Lower)

The 2021 reroute is quite good! It is more approachable than the washed out old trail, but still takes some precision to ride fast. The feel is similar to lower Black with great flow and lots of little kickers, but steeper and tighter and more exposed. Keep off the brakes and it rips!
