Land Owner
Old school singletrack! A winding trail that snakes its way through a forested hillslope, this is the most technical trail in the Hersey Lake network. Tight switchbacks, steep climbs and handful of short but sweet descents will test your technical prowess as well as your fitness and cardio.
Access Info
The southern trailhead (near Boychuk Drive), may be hard to see. Bear a hard right (east) if heading north. Entrance is near the posts.
Disclaimer
Please be advised that the singletrack trails are not monitored or maintained by the MRCA.
