Good technical singletrack, not overly resistant to wet.

This portion is pretty tame, but has a couple bigger moves.

This trail is unsanctioned.

      This looks unreal. If I am traveling to Nova Scotia next Summer and already think McIntosh run is a must, is this spot better? Any reason to avoid in Summer months?

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
