DuPont State Recreational Forest is a very popular multiuse, bi-directional trail system, so be on the lookout for hikers, horses, and bikers. It is normally open in any weather although it can close in extended periods of freeze / thaw during the winter.

Description

A nice, well built downhill trail. The grade is mellow but enjoyable. Connect the trail from Hooker Creek, or shuttle it by driving up Sky Valley Road.

Check out the Dupont Ridgeline Loop for a quick and easy loop using this trail.
