MTB Trail Tips: How to Dig and Maintain Drainage to Eliminate Puddles

We tagged along with a pair of longtime MTB trail builders to learn how to cut and maintain drainage on singletrack trails.

Bill Hasenjaeger and Tim Davenport from Trail Boss Tools show us how to prep a drain by making room for the water, then cut the spillway to see where it wants to go. They share some key tips on drainage that they learned over many years of building and maintaining singletrack in Bellingham, Washington.
