Most of nothern Issaqueena's singletrack in a loop without much overlap, offering fast lines.
The rocks can be slippery when walking across Six Mile Creek around mile 4.5.
From the main parking lot follow
Collarbone downhill going straight through the first trail crossing to access
Rocky Logging Road, making sure to turn sharply left once through the first short steep downhill section.
Rocky Logging Road is full of loose rocks and muddy, slick riding. At the end of the trail stay right and cross over the bridge and across
Issaqueena Lake Road. Just to the right of the parking lot is where
Wounded Knee starts. Head up the trail, arriving at the top to continue straight onto
Wounded Road. At the end of
Wounded Road, continue straight onto
Wildcat Technical.
Wildcat Technical is a full speed trail with lots of fun, flowing singletrack.
At the bottom of the trail, walk across the bridge above Wildcat Creek and continue right onto
Wildcat Logging Road. There is a shallow creek crossing (rideable) where the road turns into
Rapids Logging Road. Near the end of the road take a left onto
Rapids Trail. This trail can have a lot of loose debris and stones in the downhill sections. Nearing Six Mile Creek, stay left where the trail splits to arrive at the creek crossing, which requires you to get your feet wet.
Continuing a short distance, stay left when reaching
Six Mile Creek Logging Road, taking an immediate right uphill onto
Pot Belly Pig Logging Road. This grinds mostly uphill until taking a left onto
Pig Horse. Finishing
Pig Horse take a right onto
Spotted Horse Logging Road (Gate 5). Take a left onto
Bombs Away, towards the end take a left onto
Loopty Loop (unmarked) continuing straight onto
Loopty Logging Road.
When at the junction of
Grinder Fireroad take a right onto
Weedeater (unmarked). Finding yourself at a fire road, take a left, followed by another left to get back on the singletrack. Take a left where the trail terminates onto
Loopty Logging Road following it until you take a right onto
Grinder Fireroad. Shortly after, take the trail on the left marked Ungrinder (
Grinder Singletrack). At the bottom of the hill take a right onto
Spotted Horse Logging Road (Gate 5), then a quick left onto
Issaqueena Lake Road. Follow this until taking a left into
Wildcat Creek Picnic Area Entrance Road, then a right back onto
Wildcat Technical. This uphill starts steep but lets off after a bit, reaching the clearing at the top, take a right onto
Chain Loop. At the trail junction with
Chainbreaker, ride
Chain Loop counter clockwise for better flow. Arriving back at
Chainbreaker take it down to
Dalton Road on left, then follow it back up until you reach
Wounded Knee on the right, taking it downhill.
At the bottom, cross the bridge and stay right reaching
Issaqueena Lake Trail. Arriving at the dam, take
East Dam Road uphill to a trail marked Dam Rd. Trail ( Pine Tree Alley) on left, after a while this turns into
Pine Tree Loop, follow this, continuing straight/left until
Summer Rain. Continue downhill taking a slight right onto
Lawrence (not 170 degrees) keeping left until taking the
Rocky Extension on the left. Take this back uphill making a slight left back onto
Lawrence. Follow this back to the car.
