SaveThe Thomson trails are located behind LH Thomson. They manufacture some of the finest bicycle components in the world under their own name as well as contract manufacturing for other companies in other industries, including a lot of aerospace work for Boeing and others.
You’ll find the trailhead in the back right corner of the parking lot. The trail is directional based on what day of the week it is, so check the kiosk before heading into the woods. The trail itself is fast and flowy and a bit rooty in places. The soil is sandy and drains really well, making this trail rideable after a rain faster than all others in the area.
