Love the nature views and vibes! The trail has some slight ups and downs. Expect a bit of effort going up and a fun ride going down. It's not beginner-friendly since the ground isn't always maintained. Watch out for unexpected tiny slopes that could trip you up. Because of that, you are not able to go too fast even if you're experienced. You can choose to use a skate assist if you are not so good at that

Worst park ive been to, provincial or otherwise. Terrible layout, incompetent staff who cant figure out how to look up reservations. Sleep in a ditch, its better than Arrowhead.
