MTF Trails:
"Blue Jay" Trail: One of the standout trails of the Northwoods Trail System is the Blue Jay Trail. This is a blue directional jump trail characterized by its exhilarating table-top jumps, well-crafted berms, and engaging rock features. Serving as both a jump trail and a downhill flow trail, this trail promises an unforgettable riding experience for intermediate-level mountain bike enthusiasts seeking excitement and progression.
“Wishbone” Trail: In addition to the Blue Jay Trail, MTF and IMBA Trail Solutions collaborated on the creation of this black technical single track trail. The Wishbone Trail offers steep grades and rugged terrain creating a traditional hand built single track experience mixed with more modern machine built trail features.
