Once you drop in you don't need to pedal until you reach the firebreak.

Just a bit of flow and a couple jumps.

From the firebreak it gets a bit flatter until the last short flow section begins.

Non of the jumps are rollable. If you can't jump it please don't roll it and ruin the lip.

This is a MTB only trail
No runners, hikers or dog walkers please.

Take caution when exiting onto the road.

Drop straight into Dream On for a longer segment.

Access Info

MTO permit required.

Look before you leap.
