This fun, fast, flow trail runs downhill from both entry points and can be started at either the fire tower or across the road from the east end of West Gate trail. Weedpatch is a two-way trail, so even though there are many flow features, be on the watch for climbing bikers. The downhills eventually level out into a creek valley and both directions require an uphill climb back out. Especially near the fire tower, beware of hikers who mistake Weedpatch for Trail 10.

Access Info

Weedpatch can be accessed either from the Fire tower or across the street from the east end of West Gate trail.

Adaptive Bike Info
aMTB Blue Rating: Intermediate features and steeper terrain.

Weedpatch is an intermediate trail for adaptive bikes. The trail is 36" or more throughout and has moderate off-camber or cross slope sections. There is one tree gate at 33" that can be ridden around and a few moderately banked switchbacks. There are a few small rock sections, and 2 stream crossings with steep approaches where traction may be an issue due to muddy conditions.
