Land Owner
Machine built flow trail with several features including step-ups, rollers, tabletops and berms. Flows much better since a recent rebuild, and a classic way to end a ride at Blackstrap. Best if you start in the woods up by the sand pit and rally into the double track uphill of Flow Creek's start, where the sides of the jeep trail can be jibbed. The most approachable flow trail in the Falmouth-Windham corridor for beginner riders. Lapping Flow Creek from the Hurricane trailhead is a very approachable ride.

Good flow trail. Don’t go after lots of rain because it can get really muddy
Awstuckey
Short but good, easy return trail running parallel.
