Stinger is very much like Anklebiter - maybe just a bit more difficult. It winds around quite a bit, but is not very technical. Not too far in on Anklebiter you will come to a junction with a sign for Stinger.

Both Stinger and Anklebiter have connecting trails over to the powerlines on the east side of Stewart Road, above Cemetery Road.

      From the description: "Stinger is very much like Anklebiter - maybe just a bit more difficult." Exactly ... so that means Stinger should be a blue trail not a green trail. I've encountered novice MTBers on this trail struggling + wondering why it's labelled as green. It's a blue trail, it should be changed

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
