Trailhead - from parking lot, head through gate up gravel road, look for trailhead entrance on left.
The first is a marked narrow horse trail (shortcut - initially up a creek? - can be ridden);second is wide trail 20 "Boucle Pipestone Loop" as per trailhead map (uploaded from ride yesterday).
Trial 22 "Drummond" appears grown in from Pipestone intersection on both sides - Lac Mud Lake to Boucle Pipestone Loop and west. May be mainly a cross-country ski trail in winter unless more traffic is seen.
2 other mtn bikers returning to parking lot when we were - car park was quiet, only 1 other vehicle.
This trail is green up to Mud Lake intersection.
Multiple other trails in area not currently on trailforks map; Trail 5 branches off right side of Boucle Pipestone Loop but is not marked on trailhead map.

Trail is open. Smooth (de-rooted), climb up and flow down fun. Out and back, as recommended by Parks staff.
