| ThankI wouldn't recommend these trails to someone unless the rider has top-notch bike handling skills. The trail starts with a steep descent into the Bogachiel river valley. At the bottom of the descent, you'll cross a stream via a log bridge. After the stream, you'll come to a fork in the trail. Turning left leads you along a wetland trail. At first, the wetland trail is rideable but after about 3 minutes of riding eventually becomes very technical with all kinds of roots and rocks, and I basically ended up hiking my bike most of the way. If you turn right at the fork, you ride along a pretty smooth trail that's not technical at all until the trail reaches the Bogachiel River - about 7 minutes down the trail. You can continue along the river but this section was also extremely technical and nearly impossible to ride. This would be a beautiful hike though!
