King Kong
King Kong at Sentiers du Moulin is an expert-only, Double Black Diamond-style mountain bike trail built as a hand-built “pro line.” Expect a run of committed features rather than a feature-by-feature bypass: the main drops and gaps are mandatory, including a mid-trail road gap and additional gap jumps.
The character is heavily technical and built for MTB drops and chutes, with berms, rock-face style sections, ladders/bridges, and rock-garden type roughness in the mix. Riders also note there are no “chicken lines” around the biggest elements, so bring bikes and setup for hard landings and steep, punchy impacts.
Build history matters here: the line is credited to Jeff Dubé and opened in 2018 with help from the SDM trail team. It’s designed around long commitment—if conditions are damp or you see slick rock in the feature zones, scout the entrances and target takeoffs/landings before riding, since wet surfaces change traction quickly on drops and chutes.
For planning, the trail is tied to the Sentiers du Moulin mountain bike season running roughly May to October, and it also supports e-bikes (up to Class 1). The riding area is Lac-Beauport, Quebec within the Sentiers du Moulin network.
