Dogs AllowedYes
Although it’s steep, it’s decent and smooth climbing option for looping Gold Medal Pedal. Also a decent DH but not the preferred option. Flows well both ways.
Adaptive Bike Info
aMTB Blue Rating: Intermediate features and steeper terrain.
A long ascent that leads you to Gold Pedal Mile or Mid Mountain if you continue up. Many corners you need to back up once and try again and some may cause traction loss issues. 36 inches wide is the narrowest width. There is one A and B line, with the A line B more difficult and rocky and the B line can cause traction loss.

Tried to ride Moose Puddle to the Downhill trail a few times in the last week. The first time, (October 13) I was on my way up and ran into a large female moose with two calves standing on the trail. There was no way to get by, so I had to turn around.
I tried again yesterday (Oct 19) and made it to the entrance of the downhill trail and started down--it was supper muddy on some of the switchbacks and I walked down the side of the trail since the mud was super slick. After a few switchbacks, I ran into the same mother moose and young, and had to turn around again. However, this time, since I was above the moose on the trail, I had to go back up to get back on Moose Puddle. It was very hard to push the bike back up the switchbacks.
It rained again last night and so my guess is that the trail is going to be wet for some time, and I am not going to try it again this fall. Between the moose and the mud, I think this trail is done for the season.
