This is a fun, family-friendly trail that you can use to make a big loop or use as a connector to Smoothie. This trail goes out to a nice small pond and starts the climbing trail to the top of the mountain.

Access Info

From the bunny hill loop take Madison Avenue to Sugarbush, look for trail signs on the left.

Dry and grippy. I could find grip on the climb easier than normal / being lazy.

Trails are open, but with sections of significant mud. Use good trail etiquette and avoid making muddy spots bigger; go through the mud not around.

      The trial WAS in great shape. Sorry about my previous post. I did not edit it correctly.

      Thank you to the people who maintain and designed the trail. I was passing through the area and had a great time on it. A lot of fun as a cross country trail.

      The trail wasn’t great shape and you could tell that people put a lot of time and energy into maintaining it.

      Alittle greasy but surprisingly in good shape for all the rain that's dropped recently.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
