An intermediate level flow style cross country mountain bike trail that takes riders from the peak of Brockway Mountain all the way back to the edge of town. Riders are treated to long fast sections of single-track trail, linked with berms in the corners and lots of amazing views out across Lake Superior.

Flow passes beneath the Overflow flow-over and links in with the intermediate level jump line Daisy Dukes at the mid point.

Not as flowy as the name might lead you to think. Quite a bit of loose rock along the trail. A few really great views of Lake Superior. Watch the very end of the trail as it gets a bit technical with rock formations you have to ride.

This is a crown jewel of a trail. It is everything you could ask for on an intermediate mountain bike trail. You can send it on an XC bike, or a trail bike, or even a fat bike and it will be smiles for miles. It's rocky and a little loose in places, not completely polished smooth thankfully, and it will keep you happy for 10-30 minutes depending on your speed. This trail and the Red trail are alone worth the drive north. Many thanks to the builders. This is a treasure.

Blue-level flow trail that could be bordering on green if not for a few intermediate features (rock formations, steep turns) towards the bottom. This is a trail for everyone- there are no jumps/drops to note, but fun rolling flow with beautifully built berms. It makes for a true mountain bike experience if you climb it and go back down, and its even better if you save legs by shuttling.
