"Am I lost? Wasn't I just here?" is what you'll be thinking after a few hundred feet of this twisty-turny marvel of a trail. The builders made the most of the area did an exceptional job at making it interesting and fun. It is like Flat Pete 2.0. Make this a must if you're doing a ride in the Fort.

      Pretty much completely fenced off. Don't waste your time.

      Nice big fence going up on the “private” portion effectively taking away half of this trail system.

      Lower (west) section not getting much traffic. Loose climbs at north end. East was in amazing shape.
