The trail is a XC-type trail, with a couple of black diamond sections.

No Fred was involved in the build. It was built by a father and son team. On completing the trail the father told his son all trails need a name. His son said "lets call it Fred". After 4 months of arguing with a 3 year old about the name - the name stuck.

Access Info

To get to the trail, pass the pseudo tsuga shelter, then take the first left (at the road corner). Cross the bridge, then follow the access 2 road. Trail is located up a spur road on the left (south). Look for a large stump with a face on it, and follow that up to the wood carving.

      Definitely some challenging sections for a blue rating but a fun technical trail.

      Fun trail, more of a black than a blue rating as there ate a couple steep areas, optional rock roll and techy sections to ride. Good combo into Tinder.

      One of my favorite trails in Squamish. Expect some fast flow but also a few techy bits. Fred is a bit out of the way, so it doesn’t see too much traffic. Other trail favorites in Squamish are:

      A fun little trail, too bad it isn't longer. Great to combine with Middle Powersmart and whichever trails below you like.

      Top of Fred has a good amount of snow still. Once you get to the bear entrance it’s pretty clear, but some debris and a few trees down!
