Knob is a moderately technical, fun and flowy trail that winds its way through a sparsely wooded pine stand with a few great specimens. The trail surface is hard-packed and smooth, interspersed with some roots, some rocks and some rough. The trail has modest elevation changes with a fun downhill section near the end.

Access Info

Knob starts about one third of the way down Culvert Cut and ends on the Vast, at the same point of Culvert Cut.

Disclaimer

Please respect the trail closure signs. No Fat Bikes to go beyond the point where signs are posted.
