A wicked trail that can be ridden both ways. Ride up the road to the top of the mountain to ride down the trail or make your way along the lake on an old school trail to the bottom. Lots of variety on this trail: rocky sections, flowy switchbacks, little jumps, and great berms. This trail provides climbing in both directions but is easier if started from the top of the mountain.

      Fantastic trail ! This is top of my list to ride again next time I'm in Burns Lake. It's a workout and has lots of technical sections, but overall it's hardtail-friendly (Chromag Rootdown).

      Closed and had to take the route to when pigs fly. Ran into momma bear and 2 cubs. North part of the trail is pretty nice and there are a few sections I would consider impossible riding. A few locations might have to dismount and carry the bike up.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
