The premier DH flow trail on the mid coast, Dreadnought is built on public land within the Camden Snowbowl Ski Area boundaries. This trail is fast, flow, jumps and bermacious Worth the hike straight up the chairlift fire road, or climb the Red Tail trail. Locals session the top section above the bridge, which is definitely where the meat of the trail is.

You can see a walk through video of the trail here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7CmSgV7XTNI
