This trail is part of the East Dam Trails at WYCO.

Whitetail Trail is a just pure fun. The trail has good flow, steady climbs, and winding descents. You'll also find some nice toys to play with on the trail. There are a few different sized skinnies along the way, a nice log pile, and an interesting ladder bridge ride over. All obstacles are set up with B lines allowing less adventurous riders to simply ride by or watch and laugh as their buddies try them out.

Marked with light purple trail blazes.
