Low Pass

Wednesday, December 11, 2024

Other Names

Low Pass Landfill, Blachly Mountain Forest Wayside, Long Tom Station, Burp Hollow, Long Tom River

Last Known StatusClosed

These trails consist of a landfill and the surrounding land, with some trails that go along Hwy 36, and back into the woods. These trails are not marked, and only lightly maintained, but they are fast, smooth and a lot of fun. There are a couple mud holes, and some rutted sections, and some steeper climbs, and a lot of quick up and down single track through the trees. The front gate is always closed, but it is only locked at night. The best place to stage, however, is in the parking lot outside the gate.
