Red Pine is home to the original mountain bike trails in SSM, and this trail cluster still retains its old-school flavor. Even still, many local riders consider Red Pine's rooty singletrack a must-ride.
"The Red Pine system would probably be my favorite to ride and run," said Katie Wenham, Race Director of the Salty Marie Trails Fest. "Red Pine gives you this really cool sense of, 'this is how mountain biking started. This is how people were riding trails and ripping.' Things are rooty, things are rocky, there are sharp turns. Things are not generally as easy as you'd like them to be. Perhaps there's no switchback and directly up a hill versus, you know, that nice, smooth up."
Starts off as almost all downhill, lots of technical stuff, and different riding as you go through many types of terrain including a red pine plantation.
