The Ellison DH is a fun descent with views of Okanagan Lake. It traverses some steep scree sections -- watch your line closely. There is some pedalling uphill into Ellison Park near the end. Trail is unsanctioned and not recommended due to land issues. NOCS is actively working with Trails BC on alternative routes.
