Built in 2022 by connecting a bunch of desire lines and reopening old trail the Pirates Trail filled a missing void of fun flowing trail connecting the area around Acme Pond to Burkes Bumps (Future Dirt Jumps). The trail is mostly single track with a few ride overs and some bridges. Lots of fun when dry allows for some good speed. The area around the White trail begs to be ridden over and over.

Trail was completed with the help of student volunteers from Tottenville HS. The Tottenville Pirates

Access Info

This trail can be found off of the Orange (Mattera's Madness Trail) close to Acme Pond and Hylan Blvd
