A fun trail but harder to find, there are multiple mini trails in the middle with different features on each path. There is a tiny log ride to the far left which is low and easy for beginner riders. At the very end of the trail, there is a pretty tight berm that is tons of fun to ride as you go pretty sideways and pretty fast. I wouldn't really call this trail a black but it is lots of fun to ride and one of the more fun fast trails in the watershed.
