Land Owner
Torpedo Run is Hartland's original flow trail, and remains the only trail to have been mostly machine built. A double-track blue flow trail, it has good sight lines, lots of speed and options for all levels of riders. It has undergone a rebuild by the SIMBS trail crew to improve flow and overall speed. Be sure to check out the world's only (that we know of) Wood Armoured Berm (W.A.B.)!
Access Info
The best route takes Middle-earth up to Pay It Forward and gets you right to Torpedo. From the north end of the park, you can take Old Payoff to Pay It Forward, or for a grunt, you can hike up the Push Up access off Middle-earth.
