Land Owner
A fast and flowy drop that contains rocky sections, jumps, berms, and a feature or two. Definitely not a true beginner run (there are steep sections), but it is a fairly easy roll for those who have some experience on mountain bikes. Downhill direction, bike only trail. Hiking not permitted.
Access Info
Trail access permitted only during park hours.

Most fun trail at the park. Long, flowy and technical enough in spots to keep you on your toes

Sick trail. Be warned, many of the tables have rocks in them, so if you case you might got otb like I did. But still, I highly recommend

Amazing trail, super fun! The climb is a bit exhausting if you have ridden a bunch before, but it is well worth it! Lovely to see it named after Ladybird, one of the trail builder's pups who sadly passed away. Not a beginner trail, but there are no mandatory features. A few jumps you can hit, but they are mostly natural. Be prepared for a 900 foot plus climb from the bottom of Chestnut Mountain. I do highly recommend if you are in the area, and are an Intermediate-advanced rider.
We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
