This trail is one of the only noticeable turns off the Perimeter Trail.
It's a rougher, rowdier version of Perimeter.

You'll find a lot of downed trees that have been stacked to make obstacles, a few sad jumps, and some nice drops, a really nice ladder bridge and a few terrible skinnies. It seems like it also holds moisture more than Perimeter, so have fun on all those wet logs and roots…

If you're enjoying the flow of Perimeter, skip this trail. But if you need a little gnar in your ride, give it a rip.
While the jumps aren't remotely big, maybe take it easy on them first go, as they're in various states of disrepair.
Sad, sad jumps… :-(

This trail is single direction. If you ride it backwards, you're gonna have a bad time.

I had to keep pulling up Strava until I was on top of it. Good luck…

      No more sad jumps or other features - these no longer exist. Nothing too challenging but a pleasant little trail to ride. Section in the middle could use some love - a little overgrown.

      Definitely not a black. A few logovers from fallen trees. A few optional, natural drops. One moderate climb. So more spice than the Perimeter Loop, but nothing an intermediate rider can't handle.

      Not a black. A blue at most I guess. Was pretty sweet a few years ago when it was new. Features need some love now though. Adds about another 2 miles to perimeter loop and adds in a bit more tech and those features which, other than some roots in places, the Perimeter Trail is lacking. I recommend if you make it out here you do it.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
