Grumpy Stump is a tough, but low consequence trail with multiple features, best enjoyed by intermediate riders. It meanders along a stream in the domestic cutting block and offers some cool old forest views

Access Info

Access is off of the Academy Hill ATV trail: Lower entrance is directly across from the PSNP (about 1km from the high school) and the upper entrance is about 1.7 km from the high school (you will see a large cut-over on the left, take the last trail through the cut-over).

Disclaimer

        Has anyone seen the horseshoe that was hanging in a tree by the big dead stump (the really big one)?
        Reward offered for its return.
