Hidden flow trail tucked away in the back of the park. Truly a hidden gem. Starts off with a fast gapped wooden banana drop, and goes into a large dirt tabletop jump. From there the trail continues with a rock drop, a few more large table tops, and plenty of fast and flowy berms

Access Info

Check the map for trails that go to the back side of the park. When you get to the lake take the gravel road up the mountain. The trail is at the end of the gravel road on the left side.

      Hidden up a hill from the lift. Cool drops, big berms, and bigger jumps. Really fun run if you're confident on the blue jump trails, and are looking for something bigger, or if Dominion is getting a bit repetitive. Looking forward to the extension opening in 2021.

      Sick flow trail with multiple gap jumps and drops for advanced riders. Best turns in the park.

      A new intermediate section is coming in the 2021 season to continue the trail all the way to candyland.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
