This trail has been voted one of the best public flow trails in the US. Fast and flowy singletrack packed with rollers, and spectacular scenery. Much more fun when ridden counter-clockwise.

Twisty flow from the IMBA gods. Def not Black... light blue like everything else here at raystown. Speed is the only thing that gets you into trouble here. 65% of hydro is a slight decline with a small amount of work back to trail intersection. Excellent trail to take a dip in the lake!

Still a bunch of trees blocking the trail right at the start—can’t get past them. Had to turn back. Too bad… it was a fun ride up to that point.

Tree down, fallen longways on the trail in a spot that didn’t leave a good option to walk around it.. ended up just heading back the way I came. That said, this is the best trail in the system for fun / flow.
We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
