Farmer Lake has seen substantial trail development in recent years, but the character of the singletrack here is distinct. "If you're an aggressive trail rider, then Farmer Lake would be your area... that's where you want to go if you're looking for some techy rock slab descents and drops," said Anderson.
This batch of short, technical enduro trails is located close to the entrance to the Farmer Lake cluster, but if you continue pedaling out toward Farmer Lake itself, the riding quickly transforms into a backcountry-style adventure. "You lose cell service," said Anderson. The trail "connects to multiple inland lakes, and is more of a rugged kind of flowy, modern XC." In addition, riders who are willing to brave the longer pedal will find "some impressive rock features, some very long descents, cool drops, and that kind of stuff."
Whether you pedal short laps on the enduro trails, a long lap around Farmer Lake, or combine them both is up to you!
