Description

This is the downhill direction of Bradema, reachable off the Falls Ravine Trail fire road. It's another of Frick Park's short, fun, and well maintained singletrack trails. You'll encounter a bit of off-camber trail, log rolls, A-frames, small exposed tree roots, and a switchback turn, entirely under a canopy of trees.

There are rocks to drop off or roll over, throughout the upper section of this trail.

Iconic, big A-Frame log over has wide open sightlines year-round.

Same iconic A-frame has a go-around if needed. Many would reserve the go-around for uphill foot traffic because you can't yield on this feature.
Sep 21, 2019 near Squirre…, PA
This is a section of trail that recently had tons of big, white and red oak trees fall, opening the upper canopy and letting the understory plants grow more dense. This is a sensitive area and not ideal for go-arounds.

Mid section of the trail as it cross Biddle. Depending on recent rainfall, the section below may be muddy even though the upper is fine.

This trail has numerous technical trail features, including log piles of various size. Trail fairy for scale.
