Land OwnerDCNR
Sole trail is a short but fun (mostly) downward trail if ridden from the Lakeside Trail Extension. There are great views riding along the lake leading up to the start of the trail. The trail is 100% singletrack with tight, twisty sections and a few small berms. Towards the bottom there is a small root drop on the right side of the trail. The trail ends after the small wooden bridge.

A taste of both the South-East and the North West-Side, starting from the Dorland Mills (Cheater) lot.

Definitely one of the better downhills at Marsh Creek but there’s no drop on this.

I rated it blue because of the tight and twisty downward flow (if ridden from the lake). It also has a drop on it. It's close to green but fun enough to give it the blue rating.
We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
