Land OwnerBrown County
This fun, fast, flow trail runs downhill from both entry points and can be started at either the fire tower or across the road from the east end of West Gate trail. Weedpatch is a two-way trail, so even though there are many flow features, be on the watch for climbing bikers. The downhills eventually level out into a creek valley and both directions require an uphill climb back out. Especially near the fire tower, beware of hikers who mistake Weedpatch for Trail 10.
Access Info
Weedpatch can be accessed either from the Fire tower or across the street from the east end of West Gate trail.

Tons of fun. I went out and came back so I got both descents. If I had more time I would have probably done it twice or three times, it was sweet!

Weedpatch is a really lovely flow trail with similar DNA to Hobbs Hollow. It's a little bit slower and lower risk than Hobbs so I felt more comfortable charging it harder than Hobbs. Some locals told us it was best ridden from red to green, so that's what we did. The climb out is no joke so expect a nice workout.
We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
