Apple Dumplin Trail

I recommend riding counterclockwise, making sure you take the high ground when given an option to catch a couple of fun features.

Mountain Biking Difficult

Distance: 1.3 km
Ascent: 23 m
Descent: 23 m
Duration: 0-1 hrs

High Point: 371 m

Emerging from Spring Park via the tunnel you enter the latest addition to this group of trails, a network of several old school “handmade” trails. I recommend climbing up the trail to your right on Apple Dumplin to ride counter clockwise, making sure you take the high ground when given an option to catch a couple of fun features. Then return, riding Black Apple Creek Trail, and finish with a challenging rocky ledge-y scramble on Apple Turnover.

Mostly stable trail tread with some variability featuring larger and more unavoidable obstacles that may include, but not be limited to: bigger stones, roots, steps, and narrow curves. Compared to lower intermediate, technical difficulty is more advanced and grades of slopes are steeper. Ideal for upper intermediate riders.

Some trail sections are extremely exposed where falling will almost certainly result in serious injury or death.

Close to help in case of emergency.
