Overview

Description

Gitsum connects Town Forest Road to Ames Pond Rd while crossing over Pumphouse Rd. There is a nice ramp as Gistum approaches Pumphouse Rd from north to south, which allows you to catch some air.

The trail can be ridden fairly fas, although there are some exposed roots along the way.
