Land OwnerPan Pac Forest Products
A digger built, predominately descending, flow trail. The trail follows the contour of the old trig trail towards the old dozer trail and then turns back onto the old maxxis line heading towards the old start to swoosh and upper magog routes, finishing on magog road 300 metres from the concrete tank. The Trail utilises natural contours and features where possible, (limestone rocks, gullies). It is digger benched all the way width a continuous flow of rollers, berms and catchers. The trail has lots of water ruts, everything roll able for all levels of rider, experienced riders will enjoy it riding at speed, a lot of clay so can be slippery in places, a couple of signposted gap jumps off the line.
