Little Canaan is an old school trail that has been around for a long time. Pretty rowdy downhill with a very punchy climb out. This is a trail you want to ride from the Airstrip/Venue Area down toward the store. There are a few wet spots and that is why it is named Little Canaan.

      		 Recently leaf blown and trees dealt with. Still a few mud holes to be aware of on this trail. Should get better as the water table drops some.

      		 We've done a trim back on the Veg. Trail is still hard and worthy of purple rating!
