Land OwnerState, Private, Township, Conservancy
Advanced level jump line trail consisting of a few wooden features and large jumps. Newly renovated in 2022, the trail is bigger and better than ever. The jumps are not rollable and riders should prepare for getting air, potentially enough to go into orbit.
Access Info
In case of injury, there is an emergency access route available on the lower third of the trail that leads directly to Military Road. It is much easier to go down and out this way than back up the hill.
