Rode on Saturday July 26th, 2025, several big trees down on the trail, on the portion that parallels Brownsville road. They're going to need some super chainsaw action.

Great flowy trail, for every down there’s an up…trail riding at its’s finest. If you’re looking for bike park downhill riding Blue Marsh is not the place for you, it’s peddly fun from end to end.

Oh what could have been. Appreciate the work that went into this trail, but it’s just so flat and always uphill. There is plenty of elevation to work within in the park, but the trail never takes advantage of it. Oh and one last thing, is it illegal to build a berm in this park?
We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
