Catamount trail Silver Falls State Park

From the Smith creek village Restaurant Parking lot south part of the state park, we will head passed the cabins and begin climbing up a smith creek trail to buck mountain trail to lost creek trail and hit the top of Catamount.

Upper Catamount Trail is less than a mile, but a great way to start off the ride. It's fast and flowy, with a few rollers and berms thrown in for good measure. It exits onto Catamount Access Road with the entrance to Catamount Trail directly across the road. The first mile of Catamount Trail is the roughest section, with some large rocks and roots to navigate. This section also has a few nice kickers, though all are optional (i.e., there are ride-arounds). Salem Area Trail Alliance (SATA) has done a great job of building and maintaining this trail.
