Old school New England XC tech. Rock gardens and roots galore. A great challenge that is rewarded by incredible scenery along Perkins Brook. A no dab run of Perkins Path deserves a pat on the back.

Challenging with roots, rocks, and bridges..Old school XC but lots of fun. Rewarded with the river spots to cool off at if a break is needed. Will do again!

Love this trail, rides best southbound and is marked Black for skills needed to ride.
schofell84
Brutal hiking trail that you'd have to be super fit to sprint through the roots and rocks. I enjoyed riding the area but stay away from this one if you aren't an old school XC'er who loves punishment.
We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
