Trail Overview

Drop Zone is a challenging single-track for more experienced riders, starting from the intersection with the River Road trail. It begins with a steep, rocky descent littered with embedded boulders, roots, sticks, and off-camber downed logs. The trail parallels Shumate Falls Road. Riders will encounter tight, troughed switchbacks, slick root obstacles, narrow off-camber side-hilling, several technical rooty climbs, and big embedded boulders. This trail demands strong bike control and is best suited for highly skilled riders.
