Land Owner
This trail has sidehill exposure, with wood and stone features. Scope challenges before riding. It contours generally downhill and finishes fast on a wider trail. At an obvious off-set intersection, right goes up to
Eurich Pond. Left is down Plum Line, near the longest rock wall section.

Please ignore my previous old comment about not knowing where to go after Pusherman. MRR have fixed this! (Thank you!) Take a left and ride down the new Lil Sumpin which is way easier and has a nice flow to it. Or take this trail High Plum which is one of the most interesting yet scary trails (for the first part) I’ve ridden.

If you can ride the first half of this trail with no problem then good for you. I'm not a super technical rider but it definitely feels the scariest of all trails in this network for that first bit because it's very off-camber, tight, and technical. Last time I was there someone fell off the ledge after the double-tree handlebar check and thankfully didn't get hurt (could have been bad).
BUT there is no better way as of yet to get to the rest of plum line if you so desire. They seem to be building new trails off plum line all the time but it just isn't clear when you finish Pusherman whether to take a left or a right. If you take a left to “plum creek” (whatever that means) you will either need to keep left to take a logging road to Dana Hill Road or keep right to go into an unmaintained insane downhill trail which is worse than high plum. Maybe I just still haven’t found the right route but hey no one is helping mark it that’s for sure.
Anyway if you want to get to the rest of plum line but can't ride the first section of high plum I highly recommend just walking through it instead of taking a left after Pusherman.

BRING YOUR A GAME - possibly the most challenging trail to clean in vt (at least when leafy)?
We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
