It's the Monataka single track expansion. Built in 2015, this new section adds an easier side to the A-Trail. Flow is high and this section is a blast Eventually the single track will expand down to the lake and make a post ride swim and real possibility. Very good!

Access Info

From the Round Top trailhead parking area, cross the street and single track is right off the dirt double track within 50 feet.
