A technical affair involving thousands of roots to negotiate as you try to not be distracted by the serene lake views. The trail isn't dangerous, per se, but careful line selection is needed to keep from going over the bars.

Access Info

From Fish Lake parking lot, follow the trail counter-clockwise around the lake. The gravel trail will convert into singletrack, then to roots.

      This trail is just a mucky rooted bike buster. Dont bother if its been wet. 80% has okay flow. But the last little bit at the far end of the lake is a mess.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
