Land OwnerWilliamson County Parks and Rec
Named after a key volunteer, this trail is a fast downhill flow line with lots of jumps and berms. There is a step-down feature about halfway through the run, with an option to bypass. It merges onto Parkway after a slight reverse grade to reduce speed prior to merging. There is a connector trail off Parkway for those wanting to session this line.
