Hi Midforty,

I have been there. Please contact the land manager for more information on this illegally constructed trail.

Hi Marc,

These trails do not exist and are not visible on the ground. They were illegally constructed in the past as primitive 'rake and ride' downhill mountain bike trails, but have been decommissioned and restored.

That tag doesn't get picked up by various other mapping applications that use OSM data, resulting in it just looking like another trail. I find that respecting closures and waiting until sites are open to the public before documenting them is a better practice.

Of what benefit is increasing the visibility of an illegally built trail?

Not a designated trail, just something that the neighbors have illegally built
