Lower Salmon Run

Lower Salmon Run Mountain Bike Trail

Status

OPEN
Extremely difficult

Difficulty

Extremely difficult

Distance

851m

Description

Lower part of Salmon Run. Quite the adventure trail after a storm blew out the existing trail. Hard to follow in places but look for the paint dots on the rock. Crosses the creek a few times so you will get wet feet. Awesome fun if you're up for it but most people cut off Salmon Run onto Slink to finish on some other Fernhill Trails.
