Trail Overview

BM 181 is a short, but proper single track in the Buffalo Mountain Trail System, offering a narrow, primitive, and overgrown riding experience through dense vegetation. Starting from the south, the trail features a skinny dirt path with slick, moss-covered rocks, deep muddy ruts, and abundant low branches requiring frequent ducking. It's like going through a tree tunnel through the bushes. The tight, brush-lined corridor demands precise maneuvering, and the consistently humid forest means the terrain remains slick even in drier conditions. This trail is best suited for riders comfortable with tight and minimally maintained routes.

Difficulty

This is an overall easy trail because it doesn't have any specific obstacles, but it is very tight through the brush and will require ducking and tight maneuvering.
