Description

This is a short doubletrack/stone road downhill from the Rockburn Loop/Morning Choice/Waterbar 4-way interchange to the park, specifically to river road. This trail received its name due to the parks installation of water bar steps across the trail to control erosion. The direction I show this is downhill. As a park advocate, I'll tell you don't fly, but man it is fun on this downhill!
