Very technical XC/AM trail that goes up to the boundary of the firing range. Rolly terrain with lots of rooty sections. Some sections will force intermediate riders to hike-a-bike. Forks near the middle to an access trail to get to the trails north of Durrance Lake.

Access Info

Both trailheads are off Willis Point Road. Can also be reached by a short trail from the east end of Durrance lake.

This trail is unsanctioned.

      Fun little trail. I'd say it's more of a blue than black (techy blue). Lots of roots, so I'd avoid it in the wet. One tricky climb (steep and exposed roots).

      Don't be too intimidated by the description, this is a fun blue trail with some tricky bits but lots of easier stretches! Beautiful rain forest. Felt like I was back on the mainland.

      Challenging trail in both directions. No extended climbs though and some fun pieces you can tie together. Good in the summer, very wet in the winter with a pool/Creek that has to be crossed

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
