Chucks Chips is mainly a downhill trail. The top section is flat and fast. It twist through the trees and the trail is tight. Once the trail begins to descend it is even faster with tight corners, tight switchbacks and many jumps over natural obstacles. Some sections are steep and narrow. The lower part of the trail flattens out somewhat, but gets tight in the trees. The trees are close to the trail edge and will hook a handlebar. Again there are many jumps, some are double jumps, a hip jump and two berms that ride high onto the bank of the trail. There are some bridges over the creeks that can be slick in the wet weather. The trail is for intermediate to advance riders.

This trail is unsanctioned.

      DO NOT RIDE. We were idiots and only looked at the comments and not the report. So posting here for any other non local fools who stumble upon this appealing looking trail on trail forks. The trail is basically non existent, just remants of fun times many years ago. You will bush wack and lift your bike over 100 trees. Then you will get to an old logging road with sketchy abandoned vehicles. Oh there are also abandoned trailers on the unnamed road to “access” the trail.

      This trail has access issues from Wagner creek rd and has been destroyed by development activity.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
