Lower Riverview trail is technically a gravel trail but has more dirt and some roots making it a good introduction to riding off-road. There aren't any steep climbs but it does have some small ups and downs. It can be used to access a variety of singletrack trails or connect with Riverview trail to climb back up to the top of Frick Park.
