Land OwnerCity of Terrace
Snakes is the 2020 re-creation of the original "Courthouse Trail" named Snakes & Ladders. As part of the Hub Project, TORCA has completely redesigned and rebuilt this classic trail to a hardened-surfaced flow trail with berms, small table top jumps, and rollers for progression of skills for beginner riders (hence the new name without "ladders"). This is the smoothest and easiest downhill flow trail in Terrace - enjoy
Access Info
Use the UpCycle trail from the Sportplex parking lot to climb to the top of the descent, or access the trail from Walsh Connector or riding down UpCycle from the Flathead Loop.
