Description

The name of the trail stems from its close proximity to one of Minnesota's correctional facilities, but don't let that stop you from tearing up the singletrack. Small drops, a few short climbs, tight turns, rock gardens and narrow tree lined sections await on this fun little trail, don't let its size fool you.

Watch out for glass. I found a section that looked like glass/metal were purposely put there, dug some of it out with a rock but couldn't get it all. — 3h 00m
