Fun little downhill-esque trail, perfect for spicing up your all mountain ride. Starts off with a steepish section with a few jumps, then a rock roll and jump, followed by some flow and winding turns before it spits you out on the Ash Main logging road. All trail features have a go around.

Access Info

Hike up it from Ash Main logging road-the trail is on "non lake" side and has a small sign. Can also be accessed from the lay long junction.

 Tree down across the trail on a steep section where it’s difficult to avoid. Dangerous. I’ll try to get back up with a chainsaw.
