Culvert Cut is one of the Kingdom’s hidden gems. In any other universe so much fun and flow, in such a short space, would be considered indecent It has enough elevation change to create momentum as you wind your way (fast) through the lightly forested, at times somewhat steep, hillside. The trail surface is hard-packed, interspersed with a few rocks, a touch of root and a tad of rough. This trail is suitable for all skills levels, novice and above.

Access Info

Culvert Cut starts on the Vast, at the southern end near the intersection with Darling Hill Road (South), and rejoins the Vast a little bit further to the north. It also gives access to Knob trail

Disclaimer

Please respect the trail closure signs. No Fat Bikes to go beyond the point where signs are posted.

      This was an awesome trail, but far less so after much of the area was recently logged (as of July 2026).

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
