Trail Overview
Trail #307 is a short singletrack in the Batey-Bould Trail System in the Colville National Forest in Washington. It starts directly from the Batey-Bould staging area and meanders through a dense wooded terrain for 1 mile, making frequent sharp zig-zagging turns up a steep hillside through lodgepole pines. The trail is mostly smooth and loamy dirt with intermittent roots, but hardly any rock. It’s a fast and flowy segment of trail with sweeping corners. However, there are a few dug-out and trenched spots with ruts that you’ll want to watch out for, especially in the steeper spots. There are a couple of mildly tight switchbacks, and they are often reinforced with cement pavers to prevent rutting. It ends on a forest road that you can take to connect to 312 or 306. It’s a very well-maintained trail system, with signs at every intersection, and it looks like logs get cut by early summer.
Difficulty
This is an easy trail as it is mostly just smooth dirt, with no big obstacles or rocks. It does have some steep climbing spots and sharp turns, but is overall ideal for less experienced riders.
