      Hands down the best trail I rode while I was here. A lot of stuff was closed also so I didn’t get to ride everything. Definitely ride this trail at least once.

      Lots of people overlook Lacamas park but you can string together a really tough ride with a lot of chunky technical moves here all within a beautiful setting close to Portland and Vancouver, and a great little bike only trail to really let it rip on!

      Great downhill.practice. lots of roots and rock jumps. Super fun close to home.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
