Trail Description:
Several 3-5 foot drop offs, and lots of log piles along with steep drops make this the most exciting trail in the Vernon area. Really, you have to ride it to know what I mean. It is just awesome! It is all down hill.

Follow the trail until you come to a dirt road, turn right on the dirt road and you will end up at the switchback on Silver Star Road. Go up Silver Star Road for about 100 yards to a pull out on the left hand side of the road. This is another part of Spanky's. Follow the trail and you will come out on Silver Star Road again. Go directly across the road and down the trail. It will come out on a dirt road(Forsberg Road). Go directly across the dirt road and follow the trail. It will come out on another dirt road(Dixon Dam Rd) Turn right and follow the road until it turns to pavement, keep on following it to get back to town.

How to get there:
Head up Silver Star Road as if you are going to the top of the mountain. When you see the sign for the Sovreign Lakes X-Country Ski Trails, you will see a small dirt road across the road from the sign. Go down the dirt road. When you come a clearing, go to the end of the clearing, and you will see a trail. This is the start of Spanky's, get ready to get spanked!
