Description

Three Forks trail is most often ridden in the downhill direction, but can also be a great up/down out-and-back ride. From the highest point, the trail starts off overgrown and hard to see, but soon becomes very clear and easy to follow. The trail is not particularly technical, but year after year continues to remain a tight, narrow singletrack, that when overgrown can easily hide surprises such as rocks and tree stumps. The many creek crossings will test beginner and intermediate riders.

Description and ride suggestions are in development.

Several large trees down on the trail. Fairly tall grasses and shrubs requiring careful attention to avoid hitting hidden rocks or logs.
