Description

This extension of the Gateway Trail features more banked turns and elevation changes than Gateway 1 although still in the easy category. This is where you'll find the grade-level "skinny" log buried in the ground right at the trailhead. This is a great place to challenge youngsters or anyone building skills to hold their line all the way across with minimal consequence. Trail tread is extra wide to accommodate hand cycles and recumbent bikes.
